Avoiding Toxic Exposures at Home 

The Healthy Habits for Healthy Homes (H⁴) program, developed by the New Brunswick Lung Association, includes the resources you need to deliver an effective behaviour change program to a group. Pilot tested in a variety of group settings, including high school, community college, and university, and new Canadians classes, H⁴ can be customized and tailored to your audience’s interests to maximize engagement. Simple, effective tips to reduce exposure to toxics in our environment while also saving money, are appealing to participants and provided in both a Powerpoint presentation and printable pamphlets.

The optional “homework” assignment takes the message further by encouraging participants to engage additional people in their networks to commit to a simple action, and holds them accountable as the participant follows up with them after a number of weeks.
