Richmind Boosts Support for Smoking, Vaping Cessation
Summary
Richmind WA, Western Australia's largest mental‑health provider, has joined the Tackling Tobacco program to embed quit‑support into everyday care. By implementing environmental and system‑level changes—such as smoke‑free and vape‑free spaces, staff training, and client‑focused resources—the organization aims to reduce smoking‑related harm among its 340 clients and staff, who face higher smoking rates and nicotine dependence than the general population. The initiative reflects the broader effort to leverage community services to help people with mental‑health challenges quit smoking and vaping, improving health, wellbeing and quality of life.
