from NYC completed our comprehensive training program since 2017, improving their capacity and expertise to treat tobacco use disorder.

OUR MISSION

  • Ensure that behavioral health providers have the necessary training, tools, and organizational support to implement treatment of tobacco use disorder in their daily work.
  • Encourage organizational investment in policy and practice change that supports addressing tobacco use disorder for people with behavioral health conditions.

HOW IT WORKS

Training is just one of many practical tools and resources we offer to help programs integrate tobacco treatment. Your agency can move forward step by step through a proven quality improvement process. TCTTAC meets agencies where they are at in the Plan-Do-Study-Act process and can provide support throughout the process. In preparation, we recommend you review the Roadmap and share it with colleagues
and administrators.

Relying on TCTTAC’s Roadmap and technical assistance, your team can continually improve quality of care and implement best practices.

Addressing Tobacco

Although 46% of people with behavioral health conditions smoke, more than half of US behavioral health providers don’t ask people about tobacco use, and few treat it as a co-occurring disorder.

TRAIN WITH US

Expert-led live and archived training to establish foundational knowledge and skills to address tobacco us disorder (with continuing education credits).

Access Our Tools

Documents and resources to support implementation and practice, including handouts to help people understand the impact of tobacco on their health and available treatments.



Secure leadership buy-in, form a workgroup, identify a staff champion, train and coach staff, and monitor progress. Cultures change as staff considers their own attitudes and assumptions around tobacco use.

Participating organizations adopt QI cycles for a specific time period (3 mos, 6 mos, 1 yr) so they can revise and address goals with each iteration. The implementation process is thus ongoing, and reflects systemic change and capacity-building over time.
