Is there really any harm in Grandma going to weekly Bingo or Grandpa spending his spare time at the poker table? Maybe, maybe not. We’ll discuss the blurry line between recreational and problematic gambling for older adults.

The 30.0 Clock Hours/Continuing Education Units provides foundational knowledge of gambling disorder for providers in behavioral health settings that can be applied towards the Gaming Health Specialist Certificate.
