Tobacco Education Coordinator Meetings
Tobacco Education Coordinator (TEC) meetings provide opportunities for training, discussion, and resource sharing. Meetings are designed to support TECs to assist their programs in integrating tobacco education, assessment, and treatment.
We invite all Tobacco Education Coordinators from BSAS programs to join us for a discussion about recent successes and challenges in this role. You will have the chance to share your experiences with other TECs and to hear about their efforts to raise awareness about tobacco/nicotine dependence in their organization. Meetings are great opportunities for training, discussion, & resource sharing.
In addition to news updates and ideas for The Great American Smokeout, these sessions will have a special focus on the connections between nicotine use and stress. Many people who use tobacco/nicotine products say they are not interested in addressing their nicotine addiction because smoking or vaping helps them cope with stress. Despite the perception that tobacco/nicotine use reduces stress, we know that smoking/vaping actually increases physical, behavioral, and emotional stress. Helping people learn a broad range of coping skills not only improves mental health outcomes and supports long-term recovery from other substance use, but it also helps boost their confidence in their ability to quit someday.
