Understanding The G.A.M.M.E.

HOSTED BY: Center for Financial Social Work

Problem gambling is governed by a complex set of interrelating factors, causes, and determinants ranging from biology and family history to social norms and existing statutes (Messerlian, Derevensky, Gupta, 2005). Research indicates that gambling is interrelated with various health issues and disproportionately impacts individuals with mental health disorders and substance misuse disorders.

The lives of gamblers and of their families are complicated and present unique challenges for those who work with them. The gambling industry has evolved over the past decade with online options making access quicker and easier.

Whether casino based, game driven, or rooted in sporting events the possibilities and temptations are endless. Traditional money management skills and tools don’t always apply when working with this population. *FREE SIGN UP -MUST LOGIN TO REGISTER
