New TEC Orientation Training

New Tobacco Education Coordinators (TEC) Orientation Training 

This orientation training will answer the following questions:

• What am I supposed to be doing in my role as TEC?
• Am I in charge of making people quit smoking?
• What are BSAS program requirements for addressing tobacco/nicotine use, including e-cigarettes?
• Why address tobacco and e-cigarette use in substance use treatment programs?
• What are the TEC meetings?
• How can I start a tobacco/nicotine awareness group?
• What resources can I provide to clients? To other staff?
• We have a limited budget – how can I get posters and pamphlets?
• How can I involve co-workers in these efforts?
• Who can I consult with if I have questions in the future about the TEC role?

Who should attend?
