The IMPACT Project provides free training and resources to workers and volunteers from the Third Sector, Local Authorites and the NHS about the adverse effects on mental health of smoking tobacco.

- the effect of tobacco smoke on mental health medications
- how to approach having a conversation about smoking and mental health
- e-cigarettes (vaping)
- where to get support to quit
The two-hour session included everything the one-hour session has as well as:
