Smoke-Free Housing Training

Smoke-Free Housing Coalition of Maine and the Partnership For A Tobacco-Free Maine Present

Meeting the Demand for Smoke‐Free Housing:
A FREE Training for Allied Public Health and Housing Professionals

Tuesday, June 16, 2009
1:00pm-3:30pm
Four Points Sheraton, Bangor


The Smoke-Free Housing Coalition of Maine, in collaboration with the Partnership For A Tobacco-Free Maine, is providing this free, two-hour training specifically for allied health and housing professionals. The training will provide the justification for adopting a smoke-free policy and will provide you with the critical information necessary for effective advocacy for the implementation of such a policy in multi-family, residential settings.

This is an excellent opportunity for property managers, residential coordinators, physicians and medical personnel, client advocates, health educators, public health advocates, lawmakers and others to learn about the cost effectiveness of adopting smoke-free policies in residential settings, and the ease with which such policies can be implemented.  The training includes advice about the most effective messaging for advocating for change as well as publicizing the policy once it has been adopted.


What's on the agenda?

•    Learn how easy and cost-effective it is to go smoke-free in your multi-unit building.
•    Hear from leaders in the smoke-free housing movement on key messaging for the effective advocacy of smoke-free policy change.
•    Increase your understanding of the role you play as a public health or housing professional in the smoke-free housing initiative.
•    Leave with the resources and tools that can help you to adopt smoke-free policies and to assist prospective tenants in accessing home environments that are free of secondhand smoke.
•    Receive step-by-step guidance on how to make your facility or apartment building smoke-free and how to provide healthy clean smoke-free homes for your clients.
 

Please join us, Tuesday, June 16, 2009 from 1:00-3:30pm!
