For TIS & health workers
As a Tackling Indigenous Smoking (TIS) worker or health worker working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, you play an important role in empowering mob to give up the smokes or vapes.
My role, AQL and the Circle of Care
The Circle of Care is an AQL counsellor, doctor, local Aboriginal Health Worker and TIS worker working together as a team to empower mob to live a full, healthy, and strong life.
Brief advice and guidelines
As a TIS worker or Aboriginal Health Worker, it’s vital to know how to yarn with mob about quitting the smokes in a non-judgemental and supportive way. The brief advice model ‘Ask, Advise, Help’ (AAH) (also known as Very brief advice) helps you do just that.
