Professional Training.
DCGP provides professional training on disordered gambling throughout the year. The objective is to aid gambling counselors in maintaining their skills, give noncertified counselors the training they need to become certified and provide training for those interested in learning more about problem gambling.
Our trainers bring a wealth of personal and professional knowledge and skills with them. We train attendees to enhance, interpret or reinterpret knowledge they already have about disordered gambling, including its connection to gaming. We also bring in national and international trainers to generate interest, encourage interaction and provide skill-building exercises and examples within a wide range of diverse topics related to gambling disorder. CEUs are provided on request.
The training is free and confidential for all participants.
Here are some upcoming training sessions:
