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.


This week, CAMH GGTU have launched a new foundational online training: Fundamentals of Gambling and Gaming

This short, self-directed online course will provide students and professionals with a foundational understanding of problem gambling and gaming. This training presents current evidence and best practices for recognizing and supporting individuals at risk of, or experiencing, problem gambling and/or problem gaming. This includes information on evidence-based screening tools, assessment, and treatment approaches. This training is most suitable for those who wish to gain knowledge of these issues while learning at their own pace as the course is immediately accessible upon registration (4 CEUs).

By the end of this self-directed training, learners will be able to:
  • describe key concepts about and current research in problem gambling and problem gaming
  • identify the ways in which gambling and gaming overlap
  • recognize the risk factors and harms experienced by those with problem gambling or gaming
  • summarize the process of screening, assessment and treatment options available for problem gambling and problem gaming


Please do share this with anyone in your network who may find this training useful! You can sign up for this online course via the 'Training' page on our website, linked below:
