Group Sessions

WANT TO QUIT?
We can help!

Direction Service Counseling Center has launched a new smoking cessation program designed to help smoker’s kick the habit when they’re ready. We have two 6-week options for people ready to start on the path to healthier living:

  • Group I welcomes smokers of all motivational levels who aren’t quite ready to give up smoking but want to consider the possibility or simply learn ways to feel more motivated to take the first step towards quitting. Please contact Nikki Ehrmantrout for the dates/times for this group!
  • Group II is for smokers’s who have made the decision to quit within 30 days and are ready to successfully kick the habit!  Next session runs Wed.’s: January 9 through February 13, 2013 from 9:30 -10:30 AM.

Both groups consist of weekly classes, homework, carbon monoxide monitoring, and of course, lots of support! To register or gain more information, please call us:

Nikki Ermantrout, M.S., QMHP  (Group I Facilitator) at (541) 284-4638   
Debra Alexander, Ph.D., QMHP (Group II facilitator) at (541) 284-4618

MINDFULLNESS GROUP

The Mindfulness Group is a one-hour, six-week group.  It offers participants the opportunity to learn and practice mindfulness skills, deep relaxation, and basic meditation.  Mindfulness assists people in responding to life rather than reacting.  It allows us to be in the moment so we become aware of how our thoughts, emotions and body impact our mood; providing us with deeper understanding and insight into ourselves and others which leads us to compassion for ourselves and others.
