Learning Outcomes:
– Attendees will learn to recognize how substance use (e.g., alcohol or drug misuse) exacerbates problem gambling, including shared risk factors like impulsivity and stress, and how these interactions worsen gambling outcomes such as debt or relationship strain.
– Participants will understand how gambling, especially when paired with substance use, can disrupt personal finances, relationships, and overall well-being, with practical insights into recognizing and addressing these challenges.
– Participants will explore straightforward strategies to prevent gambling-related problems, including how addressing substance use can support better decision-making and reduce negative gambling outcomes like overspending or stress.
Staff Chats will continue for the 2025-2026 academic year on the last Tuesday of every month at 12pm ET / 11am CT / 10am MT / 9am PT except during December (for the winter break).
