Description

This online, on-demand training focuses on the role supervisors play in ensuring socioculturally attuned problem gambling treatment. Supervisors and consultants are accountable for continuously increasing their own social awareness to provide socioculturally attuned, equity-based supervision and consultation. They are also charged with helping supervisees and consultees develop social awareness and learn how to provide socioculturally attuned services to those with whom they work. Guidelines are provided for socioculturally attuned supervision, consultation, and clinical practice.

  • The course includes several modules. Videos, presentations, and readings are provided within the modules. You are free to take as much time as you need to review these resources.

  • We suggest you take your time, view content as many times as you like, and access suggested readings and resources when possible. It is not necessary to complete the course in a single sitting. You are free to open and close the course as many times as you like.

  • Once you have reviewed and mastered the content of a module, you will be required to pass a short quiz before proceeding to a new module. You must pass all of the quizzes before you are eligible for verification that you have successfully completed the course.

  • We ask you to have an open attitude as you go through this course. At times it may seem as if we are reviewing what you already know. However, paying close attention is likely to provide an opportunity to realize subtle differences and important nuances in problem gambling consultation. Finally, we hope you enjoy this learning format and that this course supports your many contributions to counselors, clients, and agencies.
