ADDITIONAL TRAINING

ADDITIONAL TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES

OAPGG offers additional trainings and workshops for counselors and others who work with those with a gambling or gaming problem. Through the trainings, counselors have the opportunity to stay up-to-date on their continuing education unit (CEU) hours. Participants who are not counselors have the opportunity to learn more about problem gambling and gaming and how their community and loved ones are being affected by it. Training topics include mindfulness, supervision, cultural awareness, and ethics.
