BASIC N-O-T (Not on Tobacco) Facilitator Training

This one-day training is required for all Facilitators, such as school nurses, SAP counselors, guidance counselors, and community members. CEUs are approved through Vermont Alcohol and Drug Abuse Certification Board.

DESCRIPTION
Not on Tobacco (N-0-T) is a tobacco cessation program serving regular smokers 14 through 19 years of age who are most likely addicted to nicotine. Based on social cognitive theory, the program trains youth in self-management and stimulus control, social skills and social influence, stress management, relapse prevention, techniques to manage nicotine withdrawal, weight management and peer pressure. The program’s 10-session curriculum can be delivered in a school or community setting and is designed to help youth:

• Stop smoking
• Reduce the number of cigarettes smoked
• Increase healthy lifestyle behaviors
• Improve life management skills

The American Lung Association of Vermont provides on-going support to trained Facilitators. The N-O-T Coordinator will make site visits, offer assistance with administration, recruitment and other challenges facilitators may face as they implement N-O-T.
