CTE Training

Community Tobacco Educator Training's

A Community Tobacco Educator (CTE) can assist in improving the health and well being of tribal and urban American Indian communities. Training's will increase your knowledge and resource base, on areas of traditional tobacco, secondhand smoke, commercial tobacco, abuse and prevention strategies. With this useful information, you will be able to conduct public activities and projects to educate your community. The training also provides resources to aid those addicted to commercial tobacco who want to quit. For information on upcoming CTE Training's, contact TEPTS at (916) 929-9761.
