Introduction to the Bucket Approach Training

This series of two, 60-minute webinars starts with building the case for the need for behavioral health clinicians to address tobacco use and describing evidence-based tobacco interventions for the general public. You will then receive an overview of the Bucket Approach, which is an evidence-based set of tobacco dependence interventions tailored to both smokers coping with a mental illness and busy behavioral health clinicians. Included is a demonstration of one or two tobacco interventions included as part of the Bucket Approach. Finally, clinicians and tobacco users will describe their experience with the Bucket Approach.
