We are pleased to announce that the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) in collaboration with the National Council for Mental Wellbeing is continuing with the ‘Tobacco and Mental Health Training Support Series’.

The training series will aid the efforts of the Michigan Tobacco Wellness Committee, a collaboration of MDHHS and tobacco, mental health, and substance use providers and stakeholders in the state, focusing on reducing tobacco use and improving tobacco control practices and policies to address disparities, especially for individuals with mental health and substance use challenges.

The series will continue with the first training of the 2023 year ‘Won’t You Be My Tobacco-Free Neighbor?’ on Tuesday, March 14, 12:00 -2:00 pm ET. This session will explore strategies to advocate for tobacco-free living and communicate tobacco-free policies by building community support. Featured guest speakers, Taslim van Hattum, LCSW, MSW, Senior Director of Practice Improvement and Samara Tahmid, Project Manager at the National Council for Mental Wellbeing, will share their expertise on how to be a good tobacco-free neighbor and discuss solutions to common barriers when going tobacco-free.
