The program focuses on addressing the physical health, emotional and financial impacts of vaping and tobacco smoking amongst Aboriginal people across the Great Southern region.

​

Funded by the WA Country Health service, Gnumaries Hurt delivers community-based activities designed to:

 

• Provide brief intervention to clients on cessation support, treatment services and referral pathways;

• Deliver local health promotion and education awareness campaigns on harms of vaping, smoking, and second- and third hand smoking;

• Distribute resources and material to the public that promote quitting vaping and smoking; and

• Collaborate with other services to increase knowledge throughout the Great Southern.

 

Through collaborative workshops and presentations with communities and schools, the program seeks to improve participant’s knowledge and encourages the practice healthy lifestyle behaviours.
