SUMMARY:Webinar: Motivational Interviewing 101
DESCRIPTION:1.5 CHES Credit Available \nPresenter: Edward J. Perka\, Jr.\, CASAC\, NCNTT of the MaineHealth Center for Tobacco Independence \nSmoking is the number one cause of preventable deaths in the United States. 70% of tobacco users want to quit\, and many make multiple attempts. Healthcare providers often struggle when talking to their patients about their smoking behavior and advice to quit is often delivered in a curt and non-empathetic fashion as in “you just need to quit smoking!” \nThis webinar explores some concepts and strategies that can increase engagement with patients while discussing their smoking behavior. Concepts such as ambivalence\, and the spirit of Motivational Interviewing (MI) are examined. Strategies such as open-ended questions\, affirmations\, reflections\, and summarizing are discussed. In addition\, skills such as listening for and encouraging change talk and dealing with discord are examined. Finally\, the six “traps” to avoid are introduced.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Tobacco Treatment with Low Socioeconomic Status (SES) Populations
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Edward J. Perka\, Jr.\, CASAC\, NCNTT of the MaineHealth Center for Tobacco Independence \n1.0 CHES Credit Available for Live Webinar \nSince the release of the first Surgeon General’s Report on Smoking and Health in 1964\, smoking has become ever more concentrated among populations with lower income. Currently\, the highest income Americans smoke at less than half the rate of those with the lowest income. Individuals who smoke and are low income disproportionately suffer from smoking-related disease such as cancer\, stroke\, heart disease and diabetes. Lower-income people spend more\, suffer more\, and die more from tobacco use. \nThis webinar will explore ideas for successfully engaging and effectively treating this population. In addition to the standard evidenced-based provision of counseling and medications\, we will explore risk and protective factors unique to this population and offer strategies and methods in addition to usual care that may enhance the likelihood of positive treatment outcomes.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Brief Solution-Focused Therapy: Applications for Tobacco Use Disorder Treatment
DESCRIPTION:Presenter: Edward J. Perka\, Jr.\, CASAC\, NCNTT of the MaineHealth Center for Tobacco Independence \n1.0 CHES & 1.0 CME Credits Available with attendance of live webinar \nBrief Solution-Focused Therapy is a short-term therapy that focuses on setting goals and working out how to achieve them. It’s about the future rather than the past and promotes positive change by encouraging the client to focus on what they can do\, rather than what they can’t. \nTraditional techniques tend to focus on exploring problematic feelings\, thoughts\, and behaviors\, and then providing interpretations\, confrontation\, and client education. \nIn contrast\, Brief Solution-Focused Therapy helps clients develop a desired vision of the future where the problem is solved\, and then helps the client to marshal the strengths and resources to make that vision a reality. \nThus\, each client finds his or her own way to a solution based on his or her definitions of goals\, strategies\, strengths\, and resources.
