Science-Based Solutions for Tobacco Cessation

Masterclass Workshop

Original Air Date: July 18th, 1 pm – 3 pm ET

Commercial tobacco use among people with mental health and substance use (MH/SU) challenges is often not addressed or is treated separately during care, compromising long-term recovery and wellbeing.

By joining this masterclass, you will be able to:

  • Understand and explore the neuroscience of addiction and tobacco use disorder.
  • Discuss science-based solutions for tobacco cessation among individuals with mental health and substance use challenges.
  • Examine practical applications across public health, mental health, substance use and addiction recovery organizations.
