Workshop Description

Harm reduction refers to strategies aimed at reducing negative consequences of gambling behaviors that occurs on a continuum from responsible gambling to voluntary self-exclusion. Both strategies have positive outcomes in removing or reducing negative consequences of gambling. While promising, clinicians may not understand the differences between self-exclusion as a clinical intervention or as operator program, or how to use these strategies within clinical practice.

Jody Bechtold, LCSW, ICGC-II, BACC, will highlight harm reduction and self-exclusion programs as clinical intervention strategies, and provide clinical case examples with step by step overviews for using self-exclusion with other evidence-based strategies.
