The fundamentals for Gambling Disorder will provide a basic knowledge for identifying the at-risk gambler, screening tools, and brief interventions. It is essential for healthcare professionals to improve their competence in recognizing and treating gambling related problems given the impact gambling has on the family, community, and healthcare systems.
This training is applicable and relevant for all helping professionals working with those in treatment for behavioral health disorders and is divided in two parts.
