Tobacco Cessation and the Criminal Justice System Masterclass Workshop
Original Air Date: Tuesday, December 7, 2:30 p.m. – 4:30 p.m. ET
Justice-involved individuals are more likely to present with mental health and substance use challenges and use tobacco at high rates. Implementing evidence-based tobacco cessation strategies within correctional systems can reduce health disparities and improve health outcomes for justice-involved individuals as they successfully reintegrate into the community.
Join the National Behavioral Health Network for Tobacco and Cancer Control on Tuesday, December 7 from 2:30 – 4:30 p.m. ET to strengthen your knowledge around improving health outcomes for justice-involved individuals.
By joining this workshop, attendees will be able to:
- Understand common environmental, psychological and social factors that contribute to increased tobacco use among justice-involved individuals.
- Identify an evidence-based intervention model for effectively serving the tobacco cessation needs of justice-involved individuals.
- Describe how tobacco cessation for justice-involved individuals can be integrated into a person-centered health neighborhood.
