Drawing from experience gleaned from the UK’s TalkBanStop partnership, this presentation will explore the value of layering tools and support to improve self-exclusion outcomes. Self-exclusion programs are the beginning of a journey that now encompasses blocking software, treatment providers, financial services and other stakeholders which can all play a role in a much more collaborative approach to gambling cessation. TalkBanStop has been emulated in Ohio, Norway, Finland and the Netherlands, combining free blocking software with self-exclusion and bridging service users into treatment. Price: $30 for members, $59 for non-members. CE’s Available: 1 (See Accreditation Statements)

With gambling no longer limited to casinos and racetracks, young adults are being targeted in ways we’ve never seen before. From sports betting apps to online casinos, gambling is embedded in their digital lives—and the consequences are growing. Since the expansion of online betting in 2018, rates of problem gambling among young adults have surged. Are parents, college staff, coaches and counselors ready? This year’s MNAPG conference will explore the why behind the trend, review the latest research and share insights from experts in treatment, recovery and academia. Through deep discussion and collaboration, attendees will leave with a clearer understanding—and a shared set of next steps. Who Should Attend? The conference is appropriate for college staff, addiction counselors and therapists, social workers, law enforcement, school and church leaders, other health care and social service workers, lawyers, financial professionals, people in recovery and their families. CEU credits are available from various Minnesota professional licensing boards.
