Training

We offer gambling-specific clinical training. In order to increase the number of trained clinical providers available to treat problem gambling the Council also offers clinical training programs. These training programs offer from 4 hours to 60 hours of approved gambling specific clinical training (CEU’s have been awarded to gambling counselors, attorneys- CLE’s, psychiatrists- CME’s, psychologists, social workers, LMFT’s, addiction and mental health counselors as well as to teachers and counselors) hours. These hours meet or exceed the requirements from the Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs for gambling specific training needed to qualify as state approved providers of gambling treatment services and thus eligible for reimbursement from DDAP for gambling treatment.
