Advanced Problem Gambling Clinical Training

PLEASE NOTE: This advanced training program covers advanced topics in problem gambling counseling.  This program DOES NOT cover the basic principles of gambling addiction, nor does it cover the basics of screening for gambling disorder.  We highly recommend basic problem gambling clinical training be completed before participating in any advanced program(s).  For more information, visit our website or contact 667-214-2120.

Mind, Body, and Spirit 

Development of a gambling disorder involves a complex interaction of biological, situational, psychological and spiritual factors.  This workshop will explore the impact of risk factors in each of these domains on the development of a gambling disorder and their interactions.  Participants will engage in interactive activities to gain an understanding of key aspects of the neurobiology of gambling and gambling disorder.  The interaction of learned and psychological factors such as trauma, abuse and neglect with biological risk factors will be also explored.  We will look how comprehensive biopsychosocial/spiritual treatment plans and recovery oriented systems of care can be developed from a mindful, public health perspective.  Participants will be encouraged to think “outside of boxes” and formulate creative solutions to addressing the needs of the minds, bodies and spirits of individuals seeking help and recovery from gambling problems that include work with community stakeholders from casinos to faith based organizations.
