Date: November 16, 2026
Time: 12PM-1PM
CEs: 1
Presented By:
Tineka Rice, LCSW-C, ICGC-II
Summary:
Among military members, studies show that individuals from minority or marginalized backgrounds likely face a multitude of stressors that can result in reliance upon gambling as a way to cope. This webinar highlights those experiences and explains how a perceived fun and enjoyable activity can become unhealthy over time.
Learning Objectives:
Participants will be able to:
- Identify at least three minority or marginalized groups in the military that are at higher risk for developing gambling related harm.
- List three distinct elements of military culture or veteran life that make individuals in these communities more vulnerable to gambling problems.
- Identify the specific financial, career, and cultural stigmas that prevent minority service members from seeking treatment.
