Te Hā - Waitaha offers free stop smoking support to anyone in Canterbury
Te Hā - Waitaha has a hub in Christchurch with Quit Coaches based in Māori, Pasifika and rural community organisations across Canterbury. We run group clinics in various locations and also provide individual support.
Our Quit Coaches work with you and your whānau to find ways that can make quitting easier.
Specific support is available to you if you are Māori, Pacific, pregnant or living with a pregnant person.
How we work
After you or your whānau register for support, a Quit Coach will contact you to discuss how we can best help. We will work with you to set a quit date, and provide ongoing support so you can stay smokefree.
We can tailor a smokefree programme that works for you after an initial face-to-face conversation. This programme will include more face-to-face sessions or follow-up by phone or both.
You’ll also be able to access FREE Nicotine Replacement Therapy – patches, gum and lozenges – as well as customised support.
Vaping to quit? Register for ongoing support from Te Hā – Waitaha.
Breakfree to Smokefree
Everyone has a different reason for quitting smoking. But everyone who quits finds something that they’ve reclaimed.
- Closeness with whānau.
- Money to put towards making memories.
- The ability to keep giving your all to the things you love.
It’s never too late to quit, and there are more options than ever to help you on your journey. Every time you give quitting a go - you get closer to smokefree.
