The Northwest ATTC and the Evergreen Council on Problem Gambling (ECPG) are offering 3 workshops on Problem Gambling Integration this May, June, and July 2024.

This is session #1: Expectations and Beliefs About Gambling and Gaming.

This workshop introduces the series by providing an introduction to Gambling and Gaming for both peers and behavioral health treatment providers. It gives attendees a chance to explore their own views of gambling and gaming, problem gambling/gaming, and relationship with money. The session will provide definitions for the many different terms used in the field of gambling/gaming treatment and recovery as well as define the roles and scope of peers vs. treatment providers.

Learning Objectives:

• Examine your own personal unconscious biases around gambling, gaming, and financial issues
• Examine fundamentals of gambling and gaming, including definitions, terminologies, prevalence, and common myths and illusions
• Identify the similarities and differences of peer work and treatment work for Gambling and Gaming Disorders
