Raising the issue of smoking with mental health service users

The 'Raising the issue of smoking with mental health service users' training pack focuses on training participants to effectively raise the issue of smoking and refer mental health service users to stop-smoking services. Participants will gain an awareness of the benefits of stopping smoking for people with mental health issues, become aware of the relevance of promoting stopping smoking within their role and be able to refer people to local stop-smoking services for support.

Intended participants

The training is designed to be appropriate for mental health workers from a variety of backgrounds (statutory, non-statutory, clinical, non-clinical).

How will it be delivered?

Although we recommend co-delivery, the pack can be delivered locally by either stop-smoking or mental health practitioners with experience of delivering training.
