Advancing Tobacco-Free Recovery Through Systems Change
The National Center of Excellence for Tobacco-Free Recovery (CoE-TFR) developed this driver diagram to guide multi-sector efforts in transforming systems of care and support to advance tobacco-free recovery (TFR) for individuals with behavioral health conditions (mental health and/or substance use conditions). This tool is designed to help partners across public health, healthcare, behavioral health, and community systems identify
shared goals, align strategies and coordinate sustainable action toward system change.
Recovery support services, housing programs, food pantries, and other community-based organizations are trusted spaces for individuals with behavioral health conditions. This diagram outlines change ideas for these providers to integrate tobacco use treatment into their programs, reduce barriers to access, and foster supportive environments that reinforce tobacco-free recovery.
