If you want to reduce your vaping habit, or quit altogether, the IC Center for Health Promotion can help you figure out strategies that will work best for you. Our services are free, confidential, and nonjudgmental.

Here's what we offer:

BASICS (Balancing Alcohol & Substance Use To Improve College Success). BASICS involves nonjudgmental, in-person sessions to explore your use pattern and identify strategies for change. Meetings are free and confidential.
Pick up a free T-Break Guide in the Center for Health Promotion. The guide is specifically geared toward those who want to try a 21-day tolerance break from cannabis use.
THRIVE Wellness Coaching. Wellness coaching sessions are similar to BASICS, with an exploration of strategies to address the many dimensions of wellness. Topics for conversation may include sleep, eating well, stress management, and others.
Pick up a free Quit Kit in our Health Promotion Resource Room. Each Quit Kit includes some simple tools and informational resources to help you get started on reducing or quitting smoking or vaping. The Resource Room also offers a quiet place for reflection, use of light-therapy units, coloring books and bubbles, a Buddha Board (water painting), free condoms and other safer sex supplies, and free health pamphlets and brochures.
This Is Quitting is a free text-based coaching service specifically designed for young people who want to make a change in their use of e-cigarettes and other vapes. The program uses a nonjudgmental approach to coach you through the quitting process.

Drop by our Health Promotion Resource Room, Monday-Friday 8:30am - 5:00pm (when the College is open). No appointment is necessary! We're located on the lower level of the health center (down the hallway from CAPS).

For a confidential BASICS or Wellness Coaching appointment, simply send an email with your availability to healthpromotion@ithaca.edu or call 607-274-7933.

Individuals with disabilities requiring accommodations should contact Nancy Reynolds at nreynolds@ithaca.edu or (607) 274-7933.. We ask that requests for accommodations be made as soon as possible.
