Gambling Disorder is a progressive disease and is easier to hide compared to other addictive disorders. In fact, it is the only behavioral disorder under the Substance Use and Addictive Disorders in the DSM-5.
As a result of this training, participants will:
- Become familiar with the signs and symptoms of the at-risk and disordered gambler
- Learn ways to integrate screening tools into their practice
- Increase awareness of gambling’s impact and its effect on the workplace
- Understand gambling addiction and recovery through a first-person account
- Gain knowledge of gambling resources for help and hope
