Hi everyone,

I'm wondering if anyone has some resources available to share? My colleague and I will be working with a person who has problem gambling issues, whose first language is Arabic. This is a first for us so we have no resources in this language and although we will be utilizing an interpreter for the sessions, some resources in Arabic would be so helpful. I have asked COSTI already and they didn't have anything readily available to share.

Thanks!

Hi Erin. We certainly had some materials in Arabic at the CAMH program. Are they no longer available? There was also a wiki with materials in multiple languages.

Hello, Although non-specific to problem gambling, for the general case of CBT which applies to problem gambling treatment, here is a link that I find very useful to a set of resources in multiple languages.
