— UPCOMING EVENT
Schedule: This virtual learning opportunity will take place on Wednesday, November 5 from 12:00pm - 1:30pm.
This clinician-focused presentation and open forum will explore the complex intersections between gambling risk, cultural identity, and access to care. While gambling disorder affects individuals across all populations, historically marginalized populations, including BIPOC, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and other underrepresented communities face unique vulnerabilities shaped by systemic inequities, minority stress, historical trauma, and cultural stigma.
Through presentation, dialogue, and shared learning, we will examine how treatment approaches can be adapted to be culturally responsive, inclusive, and community-driven. Clinicians will be invited to reflect on their current practices and to discuss opportunities for enhancing equity and accessibility in gambling related services.
Note: This is an open, discussion-based session designed for learning and connection. As such, CEUs will not be provided.
