Community based approach
As a local implementation of the National Tackling Indigenous Smoking (TIS) program, We Breathe provides culturally appropriate Aboriginal quit smoking support.
We empower individuals to take action against Indigenous smoking through a community-based approach. The program educates individuals about the harm of tobacco and the impacts of second and third-hand smoke.
We deliver locally appropriate programs and activities that aim to:
- Improve access to culturally appropriate quit services and hotlines, including the Koori Quitline and Aboriginal Quit Line support.
- Engage community members in tobacco cessation activities.
- Raise awareness in communities about the health impacts of second hand and third hand smoke.
- Encourage and support smokers to quit.
- Support communities with smoke-free home tips, workplaces, and public spaces.
