Co-Occurring Disorders: Gambling, Substance Use & Mental Health

Today, more people have access to, and are participating in, gambling activities than ever before. While most of the population is able to gamble without developing any issues, there is a small percentage of people who are unable to maintain safe levels of play.  Unfortunately for these individuals, this often progresses to a point where several areas of their lives are negatively impacted.

During this program participants will learn about the problem and how it develops, the overlap between gambling, mental health and substance use disorders, and what resources are available in Pennsylvania.
