Freedom From Smoking Facilitator Training : Adult Smoking Cessation program

BECOME A TRAINED FACILITATOR TO HELP ADULTS QUIT SMOKING

The American Lung Association’s Freedom From Smoking® (FFS) program uses proven methods to ensure success for smokers who want to quit through in-person group support. Those who successfully complete the two-day facilitator training will be certified by the American Lung Association to lead group smoking cessation classes in the community.

The facilitator training helps participants understand the quitting process. Through lectures and group activities, participants learn the concepts, philosophy, materials and techniques used in our seven-week FFS® program.

At the end of the two-day training, participants will be able to:

  • Identify the characteristics of effective group leadership
  • Facilitate each Freedom From Smoking® module
  • Implement a variety of problem-solving techniques
  • Define key levels of communication skills
