Lackawanna County Problem Gambling Webinar – Continuing the Conversation
In October 2017 a major gambling expansion bill was passed in Pennsylvania, allowing for the possibility of more legalized gambling than ever before. Over the past couple of years, we have seen the launch of several new types of gambling, with more being made available soon.
It is vital for treatment and prevention professionals to not only be aware of this expansion in order to better serve clients, but also to have a better understanding of the activities that may lead to new populations of clients. In addition, it is also vital to recognize other emerging trends, including the continuing popularity and expansion of video gaming, and the many connections it has to gambling.
Presenter:
- Josh Ercole, Executive Director, CCGP
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this workshop, participants will:
- Become familiar with at least three new forms of legislated gambling in Pennsylvania
