Objectives

This webinar explores the many ways self-help programs can help clients with gambling disorders. We discuss the various types of self-help options, not just 12-Step, that can assist our clients in their recovery from gambling. We explore what it means to be a Certified Peer Recovery Specialist (CPRS) and how clinicians can develop a partnership in a way that further supports their clients in recovery.
