Through our Health Equity Academy, MCOE PGP offers a series of trainings in three tracks described below. These trainings offer CEUs for certain professional certifications. We also offer regular special event webinars around addressing specific topics related to problem gambling prevention or engaging a particular population in prevention efforts. We are in the process of developing our training and webinar schedule for this fiscal year but in the meantime check out the recordings and PPTs from past webinars and trainings!
Stay Tuned - We are in the process of developing our webinar schedule for the next fiscal year.
Gambling has been expanded in Massachusetts in recent years, and many communities are unaware of the potential harms associated with problem gambling, the populations that are disproportionally affected, and the innovative prevention strategies we can use to address this important issue. This academy will increase the capacity of individuals and organizations to understand and operationalize health equity and address problem gambling through a series of interactive trainings in three tracks:
Take any training in the series as a stand alone or take the entire series to build your capacity in a particular content area and help meet certified prevention specialist training requirements for gambling prevention and cultural and linguistic competence. These trainings are free and contact hour certificates will be offered for Certified Prevention Specialists, Recovery Coaching Certification, and Health Educators. We take a roll up your sleeves approach to personal and professional growth that infuses intentional and strategic energy into your work and centers health equity throughout. Check out and register for our upcoming trainings below.
Currently no trainings are scheduled for this track.
If you, or a loved one, are experiencing problems with gambling and need support, call or visit gamblinghelplinema.org to speak with a trained specialist. Specialists are available 24/7. Services are free, confidential, and available in multiple languages.
