Counsellors
Program counsellors are experienced professional
counsellors trained in smoking cessation who will
create personalized programs for callers depending
on their needs. They will listen, support and
provide reinforcement for callers facing the
challenge of a quit attempt.
Counselling services are provided by a
specialized program through the BC Lung Association,
one of our partners. Counsellors will also refer
callers to community-based programs and help them
access smoking cessation-related websites.
If you are not yet ready to quit, Program
Counsellors will provide information designed to
support a future attempt of quitting smoking.
Counselling calls
Upon registering and after the first
consultation a series of calls will take place
with the program counsellor.

Meet the quit line staff
During the quit process, a participant can call
to receive support 24/7. These calls are in addition
to the set of pre-determined counsellor-initiated
calls that a participant will receive as part of
ongoing quit support.
