What does the future hold for our communities, treatment providers, gaming industry members, students and educators, healthcare providers, and policy makers when looking at Responsible and Problem Gambling issues? How do we make informed decisions when so much is changing so quickly? What are our roles and responsibilities?
We are pleased to invite you to Focus on the Future by participating in the Fourth Annual Western Regional Conference on Problem Gambling Awareness.
Look over the listing of speakers and sessions. We think you’ll find that we have been able to bring together some of the leading researchers, clinicians, prevention specialists, and educators to share their insights and tools to further discussion, exchange ideas, enhance awareness, and provide models for prevention and treatment.
