First responders work in high stress environments, which may contribute to the increased risk for mental health or substance use problems among this population. Gambling is an addictive behavior and has important parallels with alcohol, substances, and other mental health disorders such as PTSD and depressive disorders. Problematic gambling includes a range of clinically significant impairment to subclinical problems described as low or moderate risk, which are less severe, but nonetheless reflect a maladaptive way of coping with stress. This webinar will address the special needs and risk factors among first responders around problem gambling.
