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.

My article relates to how to detox problematic technology use. I believe it is relevant to the course as it lists some of the negative impacts of problematic use. The focus of the article is more harm reduction than abstinence and it gives tools on what changes one can implement in order to decrease use so that it does not interfere with different spheres of one's life.

Sandie- I like this article- the 7 tips on harm reduction are helpful- and manageable. Who knew you could get a basic phone ( text, calls). The tip of having no cell/tech zones is good too- like not at the dinner table, sop people can actually talk etc.

Another to consider? when guests come to your house to socialize, everyone put phones in a dish at the front door. Leave them turned on, in case of an emergency.
