Training Description:
When compared to other addictions, those that suffer from gambling disorder can arguably be looked at as an “underserved population”, resulting in noticeably lower awareness levels and treatment options. Yet the consequences from this behavioral health condition often rival those that result from substance use disorders on both individual and community levels. This session will introduce participants to the terminology, prevalence rates and concepts associated with problem gambling. It will also review some important considerations when assessing and treating gambling disorder.
Learning Objectives:
Know the three underlying elements of the gambling definition
Learn at least three differences and three similarities between gambling disorder and substance use addiction disorders
Registration Fee: No cost/Free but participants are required to pre-register for each training
