Description

You CAN help people with severe mental illness to stop smoking.

  • People with severe mental illness smoke more than everyone else
  • They do want to stop smoking just like anyone else, but they may need additional support 
  • Mental health generally improves when we stop smoking
  • Support for people with severe mental illness must be person-centred and individualised
  • Above all, we need to believe in the people we are supporting
