VIDEO AND MANUAL: The video is aimed at women themselves while the manual is a step-by-step guide for the counsellor or health care provider to assist women through all the stages of smoking cessation This video and accompanying manual offer positive and empowering ways to examine why women smoke. It examines how to approach smoking cessation in manageable stages and provides motivating strategies that work. The video features First Nations, Inuit and non-native women, teenagers, elders and health care providers who share their personal stories about trying to stop smoking, and some of the positive strategies that worked for them. Diverse cultural perspectives on tobacco, healing and self-esteem are examined by women in three smoking cessation groups at: a Public Health Unit; The Kick Butt for Two Program for Pregnant Teens and Youth; and Walpole Island FIrst Nations Health Centre. "An excellent video for pregnant women who smoke, and is engaging in both content and style. It's positivity about quitting smoking and its honouring of those shown in the film is probably helpful in making the film and its messages palatable to smokers. I like the workbook questions. They are simple and direct, and will probably stimulate the right kinds of questions." -- Stephen Bernstein, Ph.D. To order "Holding Our Own" contact: |
