The National Partnership on Behavioral Health and Tobacco Use has launched a new educational resource: a slide deck that serves as a ready-to-use presentation tool. Now it is your chance to see this slide deck in action! This live webinar will explore the harms of tobacco, share treatment resources for individuals with behavioral health conditions, and highlight key references with credible citations.
By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Recognize the persistent disparities in rate of tobacco product use among people receiving behavioral health services.
- Describe how to implement at least two interventions for tobacco treatment in behavioral health settings.
- Explain the importance of tobacco treatment to improve behavioral health and population health outcomes.
This webinar recording is intended to serve as an educational resource that complements the Behavioral Health and Tobacco Product Use presentation tool (or slide deck).
