One major component of the Quash program is the facilitator training; a free, online, self-guided training course, consisting of six modules, for those interested in delivering the Quash youth smoking and vaping cessation program to youth and young adults they work with – in person or online.

The facilitator training focuses on building skills and knowledge with respect to youth smoking and vaping, and best practices in engaging youth and supporting them in their cessation goals.
