Craving
Change™
Thinking About
Quitting Smoking?
Quitting Options
Group Programs
Throughout this four week program, you work
with a group of other people, you are taught
strategies for staying off tobacco by a
Registered Respiratory Technologist (RRT)
Programs offer:
Stress Management
Weight Control
Making the decision to quit smoking is the first step.
Quitting is a process that required making a plan
and sticking to it.
2016 Classes
Classes
The Craving Change™ program is not a diet. It does
not teach you what, when, where, or how much to eat.
It focuses on WHY you eat the way you do.
As you become more aware of your own personal
eating triggers, you will be better able to control
your food cravings and change your problematic
eating behaviours.
The cognitive-behavioural approach is used in Craving
Change™. This approach is widely supported by
years of research as helpful for managing problematic
eating. The cognitive-behavioural model encourages
you to consider how your thoughts, emotions and
behaviours all interact.
