The National Behavioral Health Network for Tobacco & Cancer Control is a group of organizations and individuals working to provide resources to organizations to reduce tobacco use and cancer among people with mental health and illnesses. On February 7th, 2017, Dr. Lorraine Reitzel (Principal Investigator), Dr. Lam Cho (former Principal Investigator), Mr. Timothy Stacey (Project Collaborator), and Mr. Bryce Kyburz (Project Collaborator) of TTTF presented the need for a state-wide tobacco cessation program and the impact of TTTF in the context of tobacco & cancer control. They addressed the consequences of tobacco use, the susceptibility of those in behavioral health care settings to tobacco and the need to counter this, and details of the TTTF project.
