To all Sheridan Employees:
You are invited to participate during your lunch hour in a Lunch and Learn Webinar hosted by Shepell.fgi called “Smoking Cessation: Time to Quit” with guest speaker Yvonne Zirnhelt. This 1 hour seminar is scheduled to be held Wednesday November 13, 2013 from 12-1 pm. Here is the overview:
Many people have either tried to quit smoking or know of someone who has. Individuals trying to break this harmful habit are often plagued by doubts and thoughts such as “I’ve smoked for such a long time that it won’t do me any good to stop now anyway,” or “It’s something that I do for me…it’s my choice, and besides it doesn’t hurt anyone else.” This seminar will help participants look at themselves and their reasons for smoking while also exploring some of the myths and realities surrounding this harmful habit. It will also provide guidelines, options, and most importantly, hope to those who would like to quit but have not yet been successful.
Learning objectives:
At the end of this session, participants will be able to do the following:
• Recognize common myths about smoking cessation.
• Understand the five stages of quitting smoking.
• Develop a multifaceted approach to quitting for good.
Space is limited. You can access the Webinar through your computer or smartphone. You will be able to see the presenter and slides and ask questions via a Chat/ IM feature or through speech if you have a microphone. If you wish to participate, please contact OHS Services at ohsservices@sheridancollege.ca. by Tuesday Nov 12, 2013.
Once we receive confirmation that you wish to participate over your lunch period you will receive Webex seminar access to log in.
Thank you,
