Smoke-Free Housing for the Behavioral Health Community
Thursday, May 22, 2008 12:30-5:00pm
The Smoke-Free Housing Coalition of Maine, the Partnership For A Tobacco-Free Maine, and the Central Maine Behavioral Health Tobacco Treatment Collaborative are offering a free, half-day conference for housing and residential care professionals who work directly with the mental health and substance abuse community.
There is some misconception around the ability of housing facilities that cater to the mentally ill or those suffering from substance abuse to transition to smoke-free. This is a great opportunity for property managers, landlords, case managers, residential coordinators, direct-care professionals, and client advocates to learn about the benefits of adopting smoke-free policies in residential settings, and the ease of transition.
- Learn how easy and cost-effective it is to go smoke-free in your multi-unit building.
- Hear testimony from mental health and substance abuse treatment facilities, and housing providers, who have successfully implemented a smoke-free policy.
- Gain knowledge from medical and directr care professionals on tobacco treatment for the behavioral health community.
- Receive a step-by-step guide to making your facility or apartment building smoke-free and how to secure smoke-free homes for your clients.
- Enjoy a free meal, leave with smoke-free products and cessation materials to implement in your residential facility!
Please join us, Thursday, May 22, 2008 12:30pm-5:00pm to learn the why and how of implementing a legal, effective smoke-free policy in your facility or housing complex!
