Problem gambling can have devastating impacts on individuals, families, and communities. It can have an impact on personal finances, individual well-being, family and business relationships, employment, mental health, suicidal thoughts or attempts, and more. Compared to other addictive disorders, problem gambling is associated with a high rate of suicide ideation and suicide attempts. To help behavioral health providers address this addiction, the Northwest ATTC has partnered with the Evergreen Council on Problem Gambling to offer this 3-hour workshop.

This session will offer a broad overview of problem gambling. It will include an overview of gambling, problem gambling, and Gambling Disorder. Problem gambling will be considered through the lens of cultural diversity. We will also consider how problem gambling relates to other co-occurring disorders. Participants will gain an increased understanding of this topic and learn about tools for how best to screen for problem gambling and make referrals to treatment. Information on how to pursue Gambling Counselor Certification will also be provided in the session. This training is designed as a high-level introduction to the current state of commercial gambling, responsible gambling, problem gambling, and Gambling Disorder. It is appropriate for behavioral health practitioners, prevention specialists, peer recovery coaches, and others who would like to add to their skill base to be able to better address problem gambling and Gambling Disorder.

Presenter: Tana Russell, SUDP, NCTTP, WSCGC-II, CGT, Assistant Director, Evergreen Council on Problem Gambling Gambling has, in some way, been a part of most cultures since time immemorial. And in the present day, video gaming is a ‘global uniter’ in many countries around the world. This session will focus on lessons learned on important cultural considerations for behavioral health providers to take into account as they have gambling- or gaming- related conversations, be that with clients or the general public. The intention of this session is to equip the behavioral health provider with tools to be able to integrate conversations about gambling and gaming, by creating a “safe space” to talk about them with cultural humility and sensitivity.  Learning Goals: Discuss the role of gambling and gaming in various cultures (with attention to such factors as race, age, gender, socioeconomic status, etc.) and cultural influences on views of games, luck, and fate.  Discuss the cultures that exist within the context of gambling and video gaming, and problem gambling impacts on marginalized populations.  Discuss lessons learned in cultural humility and sensitivity, the importance of language, pronunciation, imagery, and more.

Presenter: Tana Russell, SUDP, NCTTP, WSCGC-II, CGT, Assistant Director, Evergreen Council on Problem Gambling Many Behavioral Health specialists are accustomed to educating clients on co-occurring disorders, taking care of health and sleep hygiene, substance education, or even parenting skills.

This session will provide core guidance on topics to cover when providing problem gambling education, as well as make available resources for educational materials, including videos, worksheets, workbooks, and more.
