This training will provide participants with a brief introduction to Gambling Disorder before we discuss two empirically-supported treatment interventions, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. Following this discussion of treatment interventions, participants will be given an opportunity to engage in a brief Q&A with a practicing clinician. We will then wrap up the training with a discussion about recovery as it relates to Gambling Disorder. Participants will leave with concrete return to use prevention techniques that can be used in their own practice. 

Learning Objectives:

  1. Identify the most empirically supported treatments for Gambling Disorder.
  2. List examples of ways to use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and/or Motivational Interviewing strategies to treat Gambling Disorder in your own practice.
