Nevada is developing new standards for screening problem gambling within substance use treatment programs — and your expertise is essential.

This interactive World Café session invites providers certified through Behavioral Health Certifications for Excellence in Nevada (BHCEN), formerly known as SAPTA, to directly influence policy being developed by the Nevada Division of Public and Behavioral Health (DPBH).

This is not a lecture about future requirements. It’s a structured working session designed to gather practical, real-world recommendations from providers across Nevada. Participants will help identify effective screening approaches, realistic implementation expectations, needed resources, and the supports programs need to successfully address gambling as a co-occurring condition.

The insights gathered will directly inform policy and future development efforts. If you want a voice in shaping what comes next, this is the room to be in.

Rural communities including ranchers and farmers face unique stressors that can increase vulnerability to su***de, including geographic isolation, limited access to behavioral health services, financial pressures, stigma surrounding mental health care, and strong cultural expectations of self-reliance.

This self-paced course will provide an overview of how chronic stressors common in rural settings—such as agricultural uncertainty, economic instability, caregiving burdens, and community role strain—can contribute to su***de risk.

The course will also highlight community-based approaches, youth mental health strategies, culturally responsive communication strategies, and resources that can help strengthen prevention efforts and support help-seeking in rural populations.
