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 that can be applied for professional certifications. 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.
These trainings offer a certificate of participation. This certificate does not guarantee that the hours of participation can be applied for CEUs to your governing board. However, we encourage you to submit this certificate to the appropriate continuing education board.
Currently no trainings are scheduled for this track.
