📣 Free CEU Opportunity: The Rise of Gambling Disorder — Stigma, Devastation, and Clinical Response.
As sports betting expands nationwide and mobile gambling puts 24/7 access at everyone’s fingertips, clinicians are seeing a rapidly growing — and often hidden — crisis. Gambling Disorder, recognized in the DSM‑5‑TR as a behavioral addiction, is one of the most misunderstood and underdiagnosed conditions in mental health today.
Unlike substance misuse, gambling addiction leaves no visible signs, often hiding behind secrecy, financial strain, and deep shame. Yet the consequences can be severe, including depression, anxiety, relationship breakdowns, co‑occurring substance use, financial devastation, and one of the highest su***de attempt rates among addictive disorders.
Join us for this important CEU as we explore how to better identify, understand, and treat Gambling Disorder.

• Identify DSM‑5‑TR diagnostic criteria.
• Recognize early warning signs.
