However, we put on a health fair, for the clients that Northwestern Mental Health Center serves, as an additive benefit for the clients. We had the opportunity to check their blood sugar, cholesterol levels, blood pressure, heart rate, body mass index, and carbon monoxide levels. With these assessments in mind, we were able to discuss with clients how smoking can affect theses values that we obtained and how it may affect them in the future. I believe that the carbon monoxide test was the most beneficial for the clients. Those, who smoke, had a very high value for the level of carbon monoxide in their lungs. After we explained how that could affect their body, I think that they started to understand why they should quit smoking for their overall health. I believe that we successfully met our goal by providing education to their clients on how smoking can affect their overall health including mental health and also with resources, like the mental health center, which can and will help them, quit smoking if they are willing to do
