Breaking the Cycle: A Journey from Gambling Disorder to Lasting Recovery

Presented by Ken Martz and Rob Minnick

Join us in this session where personal narrative intertwines with evidence-based research to clarify the complexities of gambling addiction and the road to recovery.

Through the courageous story of an individual in recovery from gambling disorder, viewers will gain profound insights into the struggles, triumphs, and transformative journey towards wellness.

A clinical psychologist, specializing in gambling and emotional disorders, will delve into the latest research on risk factors, ineffective coping mechanisms, and effective treatment approaches, offering practical strategies for sustainable recovery.
