Counseling Families Living with Gambling Disorder
Families dealing with gambling disorder are often left financially, emotionally and socially devastated. However, there are often few resources dedicated to helping family members learn effective ways to cope with this disorder. This training will present an overview of research on the impact of problem gambling on the family as well as evidence based strategies for helping family members. Interventions designed to help the family overcome shame, isolation and develop financial, physical and emotional safety and well-being will be presented with interactive exercises. Strategies to help families to work towards compassion, self-compassion and forgiveness will be presented.
