- Training Videos - OASAS is pleased to offer two new online tobacco-free educational training videos titled “Freedom from Tobacco.” One educational training video is for clients which may be used during group. The other training video is specifically for staff and counselors. These online educational training videos were produced as a result of recommendations from OASAS-certified providers asking for a client and staff focused tool to assist and reinforce the message to address tobacco dependence. The training videos were designed with providers and clients and feature their experiences of addressing tobacco, along with the importance to the individual’s recovery. Each educational training video is under 20 minutes and designed to assist programs as they address tobacco and converse about integrating tobacco education into the context of treating all other chemical dependencies.
