Part 1 Description
This training provides a brief overview of problem gambling as an emerging public health concern, including current trends, risk factors, warning signs, and the impact of gambling-related harm on individuals, families, and communities. Participants will examine how gambling marketing, advertising, and messaging influence behavior, particularly among youth and other vulnerable groups. The session also explores the Institute of Medicine Model of Prevention and reviews universal, selective, and indicated strategies that can be integrated into existing behavioral health prevention efforts. In addition, participants will discuss responsible gambling tools, resources, and practical approaches. This interactive session is designed to strengthen participants’ ability to recognize gambling-related concerns and apply prevention strategies in their communities.

Part 2 Description
As gambling becomes increasingly normalized, the potential harms associated with Gambling Disorder are often overlooked. Recognized in the DSM-5 as a behavioral addiction, Gambling Disorder affects approximately 2.5 million U.S. adults and disproportionately impacts adolescents and young adults. Research shows gambling activates the brain’s reward system similarly to substances, reinforcing compulsive behaviors over time. This training will increase awareness of Gambling Disorder and its frequent co-occurrence with substance misuse and other mental health conditions. Participants will explore screening tools, intervention strategies, recovery supports, and hear a lived experience recovery story.
