Advanced Problem Gambling Clinical Training |Problematic Gambling Among Clients with Serious Mental Illness
Gambling behaviors among clients with serious mental illness (SMI) often get little attention in treatment settings. Indeed, gambling activities like bingo games and “casino” nights are often viewed as appropriate venues for encouraging socializing in mental health treatment settings. However, there is evidence that those with SMI are likely to be at higher risk for gambling problems and a range of harms for gambling activities. This training will present the often unique nature and scope of gambling problems found among those with SMI’s. Strategies for reducing the harm of gambling on recovery and well being will be presented.
