Science-Based Solutions for Tobacco Cessation
Masterclass Workshop
Original Air Date: July 18th, 1 pm – 3 pm ET
Commercial tobacco use among people with mental health and substance use (MH/SU) challenges is often not addressed or is treated separately during care, compromising long-term recovery and wellbeing.
