Through specialized training, mentorship, and case consultation, Fellows gain the expertise needed to integrate gambling-specific services into their practice.

Community Ambassador Collaborative

Participants will receive training in storytelling, public speaking, media engagement, and advocacy while helping strengthen prevention, treatment, and recovery efforts across Ohio.
