Key features include: - Flexible, personalised stop smoking support for adults experiencing mental health challenges. - Financial incentives to support milestones: £10 for setting a quit date, and £20 at 4 weeks, 12 weeks, 6 months, and 12 months once quit status is confirmed by a carbon monoxide (CO) reading. - Guidance on the Government’s Swap to Stop scheme, with the option to receive a free vape. - Cut Down to Stop pathway for those who prefer gradual reduction before quitting. - Medication options to help manage cravings and withdrawal. - Person-centred behaviour change techniques with a holistic, trauma‑informed approach. - Peer Support groups (coming soon). - Access via professional or self-referral; referrals can be made through a trusted CPSL Mind professional or via the Joy App listing. - Flexible delivery: support is available face-to-face, by phone, or via video call, with sessions possible at a location of your choice or at home by arrangement.
