Exploring Ethical Dilemmas Surrounding Problem Gambling within Vulnerable Populations
- Registration Closed
Join us for an engaging three-hour virtual ethics training hosted on Zoom. This session will introduce key concepts for understanding the nature of professional ethics, providing a foundational framework for attendees. We will then feature a panel of practitioners from diverse professional backgrounds who will discuss how ethical obligations intersect with the issue of problem gambling, with a particular focus on vulnerable populations, especially those in the Latinx communities. Finally, participants will have the opportunity to break out into smaller groups to discuss and apply these ideas and insights to their own professional contexts. This interactive segment will allow for deeper exploration and practical application of the concepts covered.
Don't miss this chance to deepen your understanding of professional ethics and explore meaningful responses to the ethical dilemmas associated with problem gambling.
