🌿 Promoting Healthy, Smoke-Free Homes in Hope Vale 🌿

Recently, Jana from our Tackling Indigenous Smoking Team teamed up with Sarah from ALPA (Island & Cape Store) in Hope Vale to spread an important message: creating healthy, smokefree homes keeps our families and communities strong.

Together, they yarned with community members about making positive changes, protecting our kids, and supporting each other to breathe cleaner, healthier air.

Strong communities start with healthy choices. 💛
Let’s continue working together for a smoke-free future.
