According to recent research, 15 million American adults are at risk for problem gambling.
The client who presents with marital issues, anxiety, or depression might have an underlying gambling problem that is exacerbating these issues.
Join us on Tuesday, April 6 as Gina Fricke, from Peace and Power Counseling in Omaha, helps therapists identify the difference between an action and escape gambler, understand the process that gambling addiction goes through (from inception to “hitting bottom”), and learn a harm reduction model that is helpful in addressing a gambling addict in precontemplation.
From 2002 to 2009, Gina was a therapist for a gamblers assistance program in Omaha. She holds both national and Nebraska certifications as a gambling counselor.
