Forest Inmates Attend Smoking Cessation Seminar
July 11, 2019 12:00 AM
SCI Forest's Activities Department and Inmate Organization Hope for Change hosted Dr. Joseph Croskey on June 26 to speak about smoking cessation. He spoke with 124 inmates about ways to deal and cope with the DOC's recently-implemented tobacco ban. Croskey combined his knowledge of mindfulness training with smoking cessation to help the Forest inmates find ways to deal with cravings and the stress cravings cause. He led multiple team-building exercises and took many questions. Inmates showed a lot of interest in the seminar and were appreciative that Croskey took time out of his busy schedule to bring this presentation to SCI Forest.
