Don't Get Tricked: Safety on Halloween
FacebookLinkedInTwitter
As the weather turns cooler and discussions of Halloween are in the air, it’s important to keep the safety of our loved ones and clients at the top of our minds.
Over 157 million people plan to celebrate Halloween this year, according to the National Retail Federation. Typical parties involve ample food and alcohol consumption, and some significant public health consequences now accompany Halloween’s growing popularity.

As you get ready for the festivities, the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) and NAADAC wish to remind you to remind your clients to party safely. Pass on some expert tips – like what counts as a drink, what’s considered “risky drinking,” and how many drinks are really in that Halloween brew.

To apply for the certificate, candidates must provide evidence of specific education and experience, including successful completion of a CTTTP-accredited Tobacco Treatment Specialist training programand hours of tobacco treatment practice experience following completion of the training. In addition, candidates must be tobacco-free for a minimum of six months and must agree to adhere to the Tobacco Treatment Provider Code of Ethics. A full list of specific eligibility and application requirements can be found on the NCTTP web page.

The initial test-exempt offering of this Certificate will be available until April 15, 2018. Applications postmarked after April 15, 2018 will require successful completion of an examination to be awarded the certificate.
