Training Calendar
We believe it’s crucial to advance diverse perspectives on problem gambling. Here, you’ll find events hosted by leaders, researchers, clinicians and advocates from a wide range of communities and backgrounds. Many of our trainings also offer gambling-specific CEs!
Dan Trolaro will explore the growth of gambling, specifically sports betting and risk of progression toward developing a gambling problem. We will discuss what makes college students vulnerable, discuss brain development, highlight similarities and differences with substance use disorder, identify warning signs, and make note of resources available while sharing his lived experience with gambling addiction.

When you think of problem gambling, do you imagine a smoke-filled room with cash and chips in the center of a table? Or someone pulling on a one-armed bandit? Things have changed! In the last decade, gambling has moved into the digital age. That means more people are just a click away from making risky and life-altering decisions, and the lines between recreational activity, financial investment, and gambling are blurred. Learn how mobile sports betting, online casinos, day trading, crypto, and video games are hooking a new generation who often don’t view their activity as gambling.
1 CEU hour available
In observance of Problem Gambling Awareness Month, the 1st webinar of Maine’s Annual Conference on Problem Gambling Awareness Webinar Series is “Gambling Disorder and Co-occurring Problems” with Jon E. Grant, MD, Professor of Psychiatry & Behavioral Neuroscience, University of Chicago.
Gambling disorder rarely exists by itself and usually co-occurs with a variety of psychiatric conditions. This presentation will discuss these comorbid disorders, how to clinically understand the relationship between gambling and other disorders, and how to address these other issues in treatment.
This no-cost webinar is hosted by Maine, and we welcome our friends and colleagues from around the country, and abroad to join us.
