ANRF provides an online, self-paced training platform for public health workers, called Professional Access, to help build capacity amongst tobacco prevention and other public health staff as part of workforce development efforts. The platform is mobile-friendly and optimized for low-bandwidth environments, ensuring accessibility for rural communities with limited internet connectivity. Its self-paced format allows busy professionals to complete trainings at their own convenience, supporting flexible and equitable access to skill-building resources.
ANR Foundation’s Professional Access program allows public health students, professionals, community-based partners, and concerned citizens online access to a number of ANR and ANR Foundation resources and tools. Given the current budget challenges, conference and meeting travel restrictions, and the overall attempt to dismantle public health and tobacco prevention infrastructure, advocates and professionals need access to scientific research, policy surveillance data, and strategic guidance on campaigns designed to improve and protect worker and community health now more than ever.
For an all-inclusive price of $199.00/year, professionals and concerned citizens can access all of our online resources and materials on ProAccess, including Marijuana and Smokefree Air Office Hours scientific lectures and policy sessions, virtual Clearing the Air® Institute sessions, webinars on smokefree multi-unit housing and cigar lounge exemptions, and Smokefree and Secondhand Smoke Highlights in the 2024 Surgeon General’s Report. In addition, we now include access to both the Marijuana and Smokefree Air and Smokefree Multi-Unit Housing self-paced learning series and six recorded sessions from the 2024 Clearing the Air® Institute.
Our team also has expertise in community organizing, coalition building, campaign planning, spokespersons training, and general convening expertise to assist local and state health departments and other interested parties working on public health and social justice issues in addition to our expertise on local and state smokefree laws, Tribal commercial tobacco prevention policies and regulations, and emerging issues related to housing, electronic cigarettes and other tobacco products, smokefree gaming, or policies around the marketing of legalized marijuana and exposure to secondhand marijuana/cannabis smoke.
