NJPN Annual Addiction Conference 2022

Reaching and Engaging LGBTQI People on Tobacco Control

Scout Executive Director, National LGBT Cancer Network

LGBTQ+ people have disproportionately high rates of tobacco use yet rarely get tailored outreach via tobacco control efforts. Come learn about new factors influencing tobacco treatment for LGBTQ+ people, what strategies you can take to ensure your organization is welcoming, similar strategies to ensure your personal engagement is supportive, and the biggest power moves are now to help reduce the tobacco disparities for this population.

REFRESH & REVITALIZE

You may need a short break to process all you’re learning, or destress from your daily routine. At any time during the two days, visit the “Lounge,” which is accessible from the Conference Lobby, for a yoga session that is sure to refresh you. Yoga’s incorporation of meditation and breathing can help improve your mental well-being. And, regular yoga practice creates mental clarity and calmness; increases body awareness; relieves chronic stress patterns; relaxes the mind; centers attention; and sharpens concentration.

We’ll see you in the Lounge!
