Hidden problems with gambling often derail recovery from mental health and substance use disorders as signs and symptoms are often missed. This 10-session course, led by national experts, will build skills in gambling disorder assessment, treatment, and recovery support. By the end of the course, attendees will be confident in their ability to identify and respond appropriately to gambling disorder within their client populations. Continuing Education Units for this course can be applied towards the Vermont Problem Gambling Specialist Certificate and IGCCB IGCG-1 certification. Classes will meet twice a week over 5 weeks. Free for clinicians serving (and residents of) Michigan and Vermont. $350 for folks from other states.

CEs available: 30.0
