SUMMARY:Webinar: Co-Occurring Disorders: Considerations for the Treatment of Tobacco Use in Clients with Co-Occurring Disorders
DESCRIPTION:  \nPresenter: Edward J. Perka\, Jr.\, CASAC\, NCTTP\, MaineHealth Center for Tobacco Independence \n1.0 CHES Credit & 1.0 CME Credit available for live webinar \nTobacco Use Disorder treatment may be complicated in clients with Co-occurring Disorders. Tobacco use disorder is frequently seen alongside other concurrent substance use disorders and mental health disorders. Providers often struggle with questions such as “what constitutes a co-occurring disorder” and “which condition should be treated first” and “how do other substance use and mental health disorders affect tobacco treatment?” In this webinar\, we will explore these questions and others. We will establish some guidelines to consider when treating tobacco use in clients with co-occurring disorders. We also will examine evidenced-based treatment approaches that have been shown to be successful with this population. And finally\, we will describe some of the resources and programs that are available for treating tobacco use in clients with co-occurring disorders.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Counseling in Tobacco Treatment: The Intersection of Motivational Interviewing\, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy\, and the Transtheoretical Model of Change
DESCRIPTION:The two main components of effective Tobacco Use Disorder treatment are Counseling and Medication. This webinar will focus on the counseling aspect of treatment\, specifically\, when and where (and why) to employ strategies tailored to the current needs and goals of the patient.  To accomplish this\, we will look at the intersection of Motivational Interviewing\, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy\, and the Transtheoretical Model of Change. The goal of counseling is to engage the patient. Engagement means that a client is involved in a process where his or her own needs\, preferences\, and abilities are balanced with your professional interventions to create a positive outcome. \nPresenter: Edward J.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Tobacco Needs Assessments for New Mainer Communities
DESCRIPTION:In the Fall of 2021\, the MaineHealth Center for Tobacco Independence (CTI) put out a Request for Funding Proposal for partners across the state who would be interested in assessing tobacco use and exposure of secondhand smoke within Maine’s immigrant communities. The purpose of this initiative was to collect information on beliefs of New Mainer individuals\, families\, and communities about tobacco\, then evaluate it to better inform tobacco prevention and control efforts in Maine. Chosen grantees were encouraged to evaluate a number of social factors that could be impacting these attitudes and beliefs around tobacco use and secondhand smoke exposure\, including but not limited to culture\, gender\, healthy behaviors\, and access to health services. CTI funded four organizations to pursue this work across Maine: AK Health and Social Services\, Healthy Communities of the Capital Area\, Maine Immigrant & Refugee Services\, and Portland Public Health. During this presentation\, each of the four grantees will share how data was collected\, they will compare themes\, and they will share next steps on how the research will inform future programmatic strategies. \nPresenters: April Hughes\, MPH\, PS-C; Val Johnstone; Abdikadir Negeye\, MA\,BA\, MHRT/C; and Candace Johnson

SUMMARY:Webinar: Treating Tobacco Together: Intensive 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.

Building on these strengths that are already present\, CTI’s Treating Tobacco Together: Intensive Skills Training provides participants with an advanced level of tobacco specific information that is necessary to treat tobacco use disorder in our clients and patients with competence and confidence. This webinar will outline the main areas and key points of Intensive Skills Training\, and will inform you of what to expect should you elect to participate in this training. \nPresenter: Edward J.

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
