Course Description

E-cigarettes are reshaping the nicotine landscape—and your clients are noticing. Yet many psychologists feel unprepared to address vaping in the therapy room. This 1– hour, self-paced, web-based course closes that gap by giving you the knowledge and tools to respond with confidence. You’ll gain a clear, research-based understanding of how e-cigarettes work, their prevalence across diverse populations, and the physical and psychological risks tied to use, including nicotine dependence and withdrawal. We’ll explore effective, evidence-backed strategies for helping clients quit, from behavioral interventions to pharmacologic aids, and examine when e-cigarettes may be used as part of a harm-reduction plan. Designed specifically for psychologist or other health professionals, this course transforms complex, evolving science into practical clinical guidance—so you can better support your clients, protect their health, and strengthen your practice.
