This workshop explores the various ways in which clinicians may be involved in the legal system related to gambling disorders. For many, it’s not “if” but “when” they will interact with attorneys, probation/parole, and court-ordered treatment requests. This workshop reviews how to interact, educate, and provide written documentation to judges, attorneys, and the legal system on behalf of individuals with gambling disorders.
This webinar was recorded live on October 17, 2023. This on-demand recording is available for CE credits. You must complete all sections to download your certificate.
