Gambling, Gaming & Technology Use Community of Interest

The Gambling, Gaming & Technology Use Community of Interest brings together addiction and mental health service providers, researchers and subject matter experts in the fields of gambling, technology/Internet use and video gaming to collaborate and share knowledge on emerging trends and clinical best practices.

For those of you who have just joined our online community, welcome! I wanted to first share some EENet Connect Tips just in case you are not familiar with the platform (or need a refresher) and then get to know a little bit more about each of you!!

Introduce Yourself

I think it would be great to see how many people and organizations are part of this online community, and for us to start to get to know each other better. I will start us off: 

My name is Tiffany and I am a Knowledge Broker for the Gambling, Gaming and Technology Use Knowledge Exchange (formerly the Problem Gambling Institute of Ontario) at CAMH.

Who else would like to introduce themselves?

Hi Everyone!  My name is Ember Schincariol and I am a Social Worker with the Gambling & Behavioural Addictions program at Sister Margaret Smith Centre in Thunder Bay.  I recently returned to work after my maternity leave.  My colleagues informed me about this online community so I immediately joined.  Looking forward to continuing to read posts and receive notifications about webinars!

Hi, my name is Andrew Karagianis.  I'm a Social Service Worker/Gambling Addiction Case Worker at Good Shepherd Ministries in Toronto.  I'm part of a 3-year Gambling Addiction Pilot Project, which is addressing problem gambling among adults who are homeless or at risk of homelessness.  I first heard of this community of interest at a CAMH training course last week, and thought it would be a good idea to join, and see what I can learn from other people!

Hi Susan, I personally don't have any links to Ottawa, although I've noticed that there is another member of this Community of Interest who is involved in Good Shepherd's project, who might have an answer.  I'm not sure about the etiquette (or technical ability) of tagging other people into conversations on this website yet, but I'll e-mail the person and get back to you (or, message me next week if I haven't gotten back to you yet).

Hi,

My name is Flora Matheson. I am a scientist at the Centre for Urban Health Solutions at St. Michael’s Hospital and work in the area of gambling, poverty and homelessness. I have been working with Good Shepherd since 2014 on this issue. We’ve been finding that there is a lack of awareness in general among this population. We have been developing guides and information to create awareness. We also have a training module on poverty, gambling and homelessness that we are happy to deliver. Please get in touch if there is anything I can do to help.

Please see our website at www.gamblingandpoverty.ca.

Flora

Hi Andrew,

In terms of the EENet Connect etiquette, that can be found here on the website: https://www.eenetconnect.ca/pages/community-guidelines 

With respect to functionality, there are multiple ways to reach out to an individual member of EENet Connect:

  1. Tag them in a post or comment - just use the @ symbol and enter their display name.
  2. Reply or comment on something they have posted - this will trigger a notification to them.
  3. Send a private message - You can do this by clicking on their display name or by clicking the green Post button, selecting Private Message, and entering their display name.

We hope you find this CoI both enjoyable and useful to your practice!

Best,

Tanya Abate
