Engaging the Community and Partners to Build Capacity to Prevent Problem Gambling
November 19, 2025

This training focuses on addressing problem gambling as a preventable public health issue through community-led approaches. Historically, problem gambling efforts have been disconnected from initiatives focused on addressing disparities and social justice. Partnerships and collaborations are essential to secure the resources needed to achieve shared goals.
