(Gnumaries Hurt)
Gnumaries Hurt addresses the physical health, emotional and financial impacts of vaping and tobacco smoking among Aboriginal people across the Great Southern region.
The Gnumaries Hurt Health Promotion unit combines community education, personalised supports, and stakeholder collaboration to deliver an education program which aims to raise awareness of the physical health risks associated with tobacco smoking and vaping.
Our program is culturally tailored to ensure engagement and meaningful participation, supporting clients who voluntarily commit to the challenging process of quitting smoking.
