Presentation

Culture shapes how people understand risk, seek support, and connect with services. Using an equity-centered lens, this webinar explores gambling-related harms in Latino communities and examines how cultural values, family relationships, and community experiences influence prevention and help-seeking behaviors. Participants will learn practical strategies for fostering trust, strengthening partnerships, and expanding access to culturally responsive, trauma-informed services while addressing Structural Determinants of Health (SDOH) and systemic inequities that affect health and well-being. Together, we will explore pathways to more effective prevention, intervention, and community impact.

This webinar is facilitated by our center, the Massachusetts Center of Excellence on Problem Gambling Prevention (MCOE PGP), funded by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, Office of Problem Gambling Services.
