Paul Sacco, PhD, MSW, professor at the University of Maryland School of Social Work, and Kristen Beall, LCSW-C, clinical manager at the University of Maryland Center of Excellence on Problem Gambling, join host Makeba Royall for a new episode of Social Work Talks.
As sports betting, online gambling, and prediction-market apps continue to grow, so does the risk of gambling-related harm and addiction. Sacco and Beall discuss warning signs of problem gambling, factors that influence gambling behavior, and ways social workers can support individuals and families through awareness, screening, and evidence-based treatment.
Listen to “Understanding Gambling Disorder and How Social Workers Can Help” on Social Work Talks.
