Events

CCGP offers a variety of virtual and in-person gambling-specific clinical workshops and community outreach events throughout the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

In order to increase the number of trained clinical providers available to treat problem gambling in Pennsylvania, the Council also offers clinical training programs through the Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs. These training hours meet requirements of the International Gambling Counselor Certification Board (IGCCB) for international gambling counseling certification and the Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs (DDAP) for gambling specific training required to qualify as state approved providers of gambling treatment services.

Below is a list of events coming up throughout Pennsylvania, as well as events held by our colleagues in, and around, Pennsylvania, that may be beneficial. Several of these events are available to attend, or participate in, at no cost.
