Introduction to Problem Gambling

This webinar will define gambling and give examples of legal, regulated gambling as well as activities that check all the boxes for gambling, but for various reasons, aren’t regulated as gambling. Participants will learn how to define problem gambling and gambling disorder and identify at-risk groups. The session will highlight how risk factors overlap between gambling and substance use disorder and cover some brief screening tools and conversation techniques to ask about gambling in a sensitive, nonjudgmental manner. Finally, we’ll talk about resources to help individuals and affected others impacted by gambling harm.
