Work Through Barriers Webinar
Tuesday, February 2, 2010
Join SAMHSA
and the Smoking Cessation Leadership
Center on February 10, 2010 (1pm ET, 90 min.) for our next webinar, "Addressing barriers to
delivering
tobacco dependence interventions across mental health care settings.”
Daryl
Sharp,
PhD, APRN, BC,
and Susan
Blaakman,
MS, APRN, BC,
faculty members at the University of Rochester,
School of Nursing, will
discuss strategies for working through barriers clinicians often face
when
addressing tobacco dependence among persons with mental illnesses. This
webinar will move beyond making the case for the importance and need for
tobacco dependence interventions in this population. Participants will
be
encouraged to share ideas and strategize about how to work through
tobacco
dependence treatment challenges at the staff and systems level. Please
tune in to this interactive educational session.
Dr. Sharp and Ms. Blaakman are also co-chairs of the American Psychiatric
Nurses Association’s Tobacco Dependence Council, a partner of the
Smoking Cessation Leadership
Center. The Council
has established a position statement to mobilize psychiatric nurses as
champions for smoking cessation with a clear message of "action equals
hope” but "failure to act equals harm.”
