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.

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.
