Applying an Equity Lens to Problem Gambling Prevention
May 15, 2023

We know health equity should be central to the work we do and incorporated into our organizations, our work with others, and ourselves, but it doesn’t always happen. This interactive training will explore common concepts and definitions related to building health equity, being culturally intelligent, key identifying complex factors that make people and communities healthy, and exploring how history and policies have helped shape what our communities are like today.

I Am Because We Are!!!—What Does Community Wellness Look Like for Our Work with Communities Experiencing Marginalization, Oppression, and Health Disparities
May 11, 2023

While less than 3% of the general population experience risky gambling or disordered gambling behaviors, only 3% with risky gambling behaviors ever seek mental health treatment for gambling and/or other co-occurring mental health concerns. What are we doing to support the 97% who never seek treatment? Are our prevention efforts reaching the 97%, which includes a new research trend to focus on emphasizing the self-management of risky gambling behaviors (Hodgins, Cunningham, & Murray, 2019); Matheson & Hamilton-Wright, 2019). Attend this session to update your prevention knowledge and skills using a diversity, equity, and inclusion framework focused on supporting the 97% before persons develop problem mental health distress.
