Presenter: Thomas E. Broffman, PhD, LICSW, CAADAC, CCS, CEAP
This training is for behavioral health providers interested in learning about working with military members and veterans with gambling problems and their families. The participants will gain knowledge of the five branches of service, their missions, and traditions. Research suggests that the rate of problem gambling is higher among military personnel than that of the general population. Problem gambling tends to co-occur with other disorders that have elevated rates among those who have served in the military, such as substance abuse, intimate partner violence (IPV), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and suicide. While there is an abundance of opportunities for veterans and enlisted personnel to gamble, many members of the military do not have access to treatment for gambling problems and may face disciplinary action for seeking help. Participants will also become familiar with various services and interventions that are beneficial to military members and veterans with gambling problems and their families.
