This workshop is intended to provide compulsive gambling
counselors, behavioral health and addictions professionals with a basic
understanding about how to use harm reduction as an intervention strategy in their work with those who want to decrease the consequences of their
behavior or addiction but do not want to stop completely. Harm reduction
allows the professional to develop the relationship with the client that is
necessary to facilitate long term change and helps the client learn for him
or herself that he or she can or can not limit his or her behavior or addiction. Examples will be based on the facilitator’s work with gamblers but this
harm reduction model is transferable to many other addictions and/or
compulsive behaviors.
