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.
People with living/lived experience and their support networks are essential partners in advancing tobacco-free recovery. This diagram highlights opportunities for education, peer support, advocacy, and engagement in care planning — ensuring that systems are responsive, person-centered, and grounded in real-world experience
