This interactive workshop series (12 hrs.) offers a theoretical, practical and evidence-based introduction to Congruence Couple Therapy (CCT). CCT is a humanistic, systemic, trauma-informed model that utilizes the couple relationship as a resource to create significant clinical outcomes for addiction and mental health. It offers a conceptual shift away from focusing solely on the individual and symptom reduction to address the complex and relational issues that often underlie gambling and addictive disorders.

When a free to play game provides an opportunity to pay to play, does it become gambling? What are loot boxes and how does the government regulate them? How do video games promote gambling among youth? What is a Freemium Model game?

All these questions and more will be discussed in this free webinar being conducted by the YMCA of Greater Toronto's Youth Gambling Awareness Program.

Research and knowledge exchange opportunity

Dear EENET members:

Dr. Nigel Turner at CAMH is conducting a short survey aimed towards clinicians who help people with gambling problems. The purpose of the research is to better understand:

Have you read the news lately and wondered what all this talk of Robinhood is about? Or maybe you've asked yourself if cryptocurrency can be used in an online casino, and if so how? Perhaps you've even wondered what happens to gambling debts during bankruptcy?

Pandemic lockdowns and restrictions have impacted the provision of treatment for people with gambling problems. Our traditional notions of that treatment needs to be offered in face-to-face contact have been challenged. Remote offerings seem effective, and to some clients, even preferable. In the gambling area, we are fortunate that there is an existing evidence-base for the efficacy of telephone and online interventions. This presentation will review the state of the field, and provide helpful guidance to clinicians.
