SUMMARY:Webinar: Understanding Barriers and Opportunities to Reduce Tobacco Use and Exposure to Secondhand Smoke Among Maine Veterans
DESCRIPTION:In March 2021\, MaineHealth’s Center for Tobacco Independence (CTI) enlisted Hart Consulting’s services to understand more about tobacco use among Maine’s veterans. The discovery project included three components: focus groups with veterans\, key informant interviews with veteran service organizations\, and a web scan of state and federal resources for veterans on tobacco use. This presentation will share the findings from the project including Maine veterans’ experiences with tobacco use\, interest in stopping the use of tobacco\, membership support for not allowing smoking in veteran social clubs\, and advice on best ways to connect with veterans. \nPresenter: Patricia Hart\, MS\, CPH – Hart Consulting Inc\nEarn 1.0 CHES Credits

SUMMARY:Essential Skills Training: The Main(e) Points
DESCRIPTION:In order to effectively treat Tobacco Use Disorder\, a healthcare provider requires a specific combination of knowledge\, skills\, and abilities\, along with affirmative attitudes\, values\, and beliefs that support them in this important and challenging work.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Secondhand and Thirdhand Smoke Impact on the Latino Community & Smoke-Free Multi-Unit Housing
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Yaneth Rodriguez\, MPH – University of Southern California Tobacco Center for Regulatory Sciences\, Community Data Collection Manager\nSecondhand and thirdhand smoke are a significant public health concern and driver of smoke-free policies. Secondhand smoke is inhaled involuntarily from tobacco being smoked by others and increases the risk for many diseases. When nonsmokers are exposed to tobacco smoke\, their risk of lung cancer is increased by about 20%. Thirdhand smoke leaves chemical residue on surfaces where smoking has occurred and can continue long after the smoke has left the environment. This presentation will review the impact of secondhand and thirdhand smoke can have on the Latino community. This presentation will also explain how smoke-free multi-unit housing policies can protect tenants. \nEarn 1.0 CME

SUMMARY:Webinar: Taking Care of Yourself - Utilizing Self Care Strategies to Address Stress and Burnout
DESCRIPTION:Working with individuals with tobacco use disorder and helping them to start living a tobacco-free life can be very rewarding. It can also be challenging and frustrating at times. Although many providers in healthcare are familiar with the concept of self-care\, that is\, paying attention to your own mental\, physical\, and spiritual selves\, and indeed encourage their clients or patients to embrace the concept\, some may find it a challenge to put the concept into practice in their own lives. In this webinar\, we will explore some of the ways that providers can make it a priority to walk the walk and model self-care for their clients and patients\, and we will discuss how to use supervision to effectively deliver evidenced-based tobacco interventions. \nPresenter: Edward Perka Jr\, CASAC\, ICADC\, NCTTP – Tobacco Treatment Educator\, MaineHealth Center for Tobacco Independence\nView additional webinar opportunities from the 2019-2020 series and access archived webinars.
