SUMMARY:Older Adults\, Behavioral Health and Smoking: It’s Never Too Late to Quit
DESCRIPTION:Older Adults\, Behavioral Health and Smoking: It’s Never Too Late to Quit \nDate: July 23\, 2 – 3 p.m. ET \nPeople with behavioral health conditions are two to three times more likely to use tobacco than the general population.This is largely due to targeted marketing by the tobacco industry and delays in screening and provision of cessation treatment by providers. \nCurrently\, about 7.5 million Americans ages 65 and older are living with a mental illness and 4.5 million older adults use tobacco. Older adults are less likely to utilize existing smoking cessation programs despite research that indicates more successful quit attempts when they are engaged in cessation activities. \nHow can you better serve the older adult population who smokes? \nJoin the National Behavioral Health Network for Tobacco and Cancer Control and the Geriatric Technical Assistance Center for a webinar exploring the long-term benefits of tobacco cessation for older adults from a renowned panel of experts. \nREGISTER TODAY \nBy the end of this webinar you will: \n\nBe able to address the unique challenges and health consequences of smoking for older adults.\nGain the resources you need to talk to your patients about quitting.\nUnderstand the implications of smoking for older adult populations and special aging populations\, such as veterans.\n\nPresented by Chad D.

SUMMARY:Connecting the Dots: Addiction\, Trauma and Tobacco Use
DESCRIPTION:Webinar: Connecting the Dots: Addiction\, Trauma and Tobacco Use  \nJoin the National Behavioral Health Network for a webinar on Monday\, June 17th from 12 p.m.  – 1 p.m. ET for an introduction on how to effectively integrate a trauma informed approach to tobacco cessation services. Attendees will have the opportunity to hear from the National Council for Behavioral Health’s subject matter on trauma- Karen Johnson\, MSW\, LCSW. \nEvidence tells us that tobacco use is highly correlated to traumatic events in childhood. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are common and associated with an increased risk for smoking (Yeoman\, Safranek\, et. al\, 2013). However\, we often miss using this evidence and our growing understanding of trauma to inform our tobacco cessation efforts. Join this webinar to learn more about the connection between adverse childhood experiences and tobacco use and how a trauma-informed approach can help us to more effectively impact support tobacco cessation with individuals who have experienced trauma. \nBy the end of this webinar you will: \n\nBe aware of the connection between trauma and addictions\nBe aware of the interplay between adverse childhood events and tobacco use\nUnderstand how a trauma-informed approach can inform our tobacco cessation strategies\n\nREGISTER HERE►

Many of us\, however\, have not considered outreach to the military communities in our states and territories or have been hindered in our efforts to do so because there is no clear path to working with this population. \nJoin us for May’s NACDD General Member Webinar on Thursday\, May 23rd\, at 3 p.m. in a follow-up to Captain Kimberly Elenberg’s popular plenary at this year’s Chronic Disease Academy. She will share the importance of working with this population to promote health and prevent chronic disease. \nWe’ll also hear from military personnel and peers from health departments in two states on how they’ve successfully worked together to increase the health and readiness of service members in their states. \nIt’s time to make a change in how we support these vital members of our communities. \nIntended Audience: \n\nChronic Disease and Health Promotion Directors\nChronic Disease Practitioner Network\nAll General Members who work in State Health Departments

SUMMARY:Webinar: Living in a Cloud: Adolescent Nicotine Use

The purpose of this presentation is to explore the psychopharmacology of nicotine use\, the culture of vaping\, and strategies for prevention and treatment. Participants will learn how healthy factors of adolescent development add to the risk of becoming addicted to nicotine. \nREGISTER HERE \nLearning Objectives\n\nDescribe the basic psychopharmacological process of nicotine addiction.\nList at least three prevention and three treatment strategies of nicotine use (adolescent focus).\nExplain the initiation process into nicotine use (vaping and other technologies).\n\nPrice\nEducation is FREE to all professionals \nEarn Continuing Education Hours (CEs)\nIf you have watched the webinar (either live or on-demand)\, you are eligible to receive a Certificate of Completion to verify the continuing education hours you spent learning.
