Message forwarded on behalf of RNAO:
RNAO is excited to announce a new project on smoking cessation for pre and post natal women and their families as part of their Smoking Cessation Initiative. We will be hosting one-day ‘Best Practice Champions for Smoke-Free Pregnancies’ workshops across the province at no cost to participants within Ontario. At these workshops participants will receive quit kits for their pregnant and postpartum clients as well as resources to support smoking cessation interventions with this population.
At this time we are distributing a Request for Proposal for Host Sites due by or before May 8th, 2014. http://communities.rnao.ca/sites/community/files/rnao_best_practice_champions_for_smoke-free_pregnancies_host_sites.docx. Priority will be given to host sites in primary care including family health teams, public health units and community and home health care. RNAO is hopeful that there will be much interest in these new workshops and encourages sites to apply.
Please contact Katherine Wallace, Program Manager for Smoking Cessation at kwallace@rnao.ca if you require further details.
