Riding the Riptide of Change through Gambling and Co-Occurring Disorders
Monday, March 28, 2016
The WCPG recently held its 17th annual statewide
gambling awareness conference "Riding the Riptide of Change through
Gambling and Co-Occurring Disorders". 135 participants had the
opportunity to earn up to 21 CEU's during the pre-conference and
the two-day conference. Fifteen presenters provided workshops
on a variety of topics including: Gambling Addiction treatment and
Financial Capability, Ethics, Supervision, Therapeutic Gambling
Treatment in the Criminal Justice System, Problem Gambling and
domestic abuse, Mindfulness and addiction as well as many
others. It was a great networking opportunity for presenters
and attendees.
At the Annual Awards Banquet, four awards were given to people
who have gone above and beyond in helping problem gamblers in the
state of Wisconsin and helping the Council fulfill its mission of
providing resources for anyone affected by gambling disorders. We
look forward to presenting the 18th Annual Conference on
March 23-24, 2017 at the Osthoff Resort in Elkhart Lake. We hope
you can join us.
