Intro to Problem Gambling:
Preparing for Problem Gambling
Awareness Month (PGAM)
Today, more people have access to, and are participating in, gambling activities than ever before.
While most individuals can gamble without developing issues, there are a small percentage who are unable to maintain safe levels of play. Unfortunately for these individuals, this often progresses to a point where several areas of their lives are impacted in a negative way.
This training will review definitions of gambling, problem gambling, and the various impact that gambling may have on an individual. Common co-occurring concerns will be explored including substance use, mental health the significantly increased risk of suicide among individuals experiencing gambling disorder.
The discussion in the program will offer attendees information and talking points that can be used throughout March, which is recognized nationally as Problem Gambling Awareness Month (PGAM), a grassroots campaign which aims to increase awareness and understanding of problem gambling and available resources for help.
Presenter:
- Josh Ercole, Executive Director, CCGP
