In This Issue Worksite Tobacco Cessation Classes Lighting Up! Support A Quitter! Follow Us & Win!
Following the end of our 10 year Grant with Clearway MN and managing the very successful QUITPLAN at work program, HealthSource Solutions launched the Kick It Together tobacco cessation program. Worksites continue to deal with employee tobacco use and the cost to their company in sick time, decreased productivity and medical expenditures. With Kick It Together we are able to continue serving our clients’ need for worksite tobacco cessation programming and resources. We can provide onsite tobacco cessation classes to our clients or they can purchase the participant workbooks to hand out to their employees who are ready to quit independently. Currently we have 4 clients running a Kick It Together onsite tobacco cessation program at their worksite. Jaime Gunn with QualiTech recently shared feedback on their first onsite class led by our counselor Pam Werb: I just wanted to let you know how much the guys enjoyed the first Kick It Together class today. I got rave reviews on your class structure and they really appreciated your “genuine nature, kindness, and support” - their words! They can be a tough bunch to crack sometimes. I’m really happy to hear you’ve genuinely connected with them and that they are looking forward to next week’s class and are already setting their quit dates. Thank you so much! - Jaime
