Addiction has impacted the lives of millions people around the world. Countless public health leaders, clinicians, community leaders, researchers, industry members and regulators have worked tirelessly to help us understand more about gambling disorders so that we can provide effective prevention and treatment as well as reduce the stigma of addiction and mental illness.

In the spirit of understanding this disorder with innovative science, the National Center for Responsible Gaming (NCRG) welcomes you to join us as we celebrate 15 years of the NCRG Conference on Gambling and Addiction. This year’s event program is packed with thought-provoking leaders in the research field, clinical practice, gaming industry, regulatory bodies and national mental health organizations. By discussing these issues and finding science-based solutions, together we can create change that matters in mental health.

New Conference ElementTo keep the discussion going, this year we’re going to have Discussion Points after select sessions. Experts will help us understand the implications of these topics and real-life applications of the research. This also is included in your CE hour offering.

Conference Venue and Hotel ReservationsVenueThe NCRG Conference is co-located with Global Gaming Expo (G2E) in the Congress Center at The Venetian and Palazzo in Las Vegas. For more information about G2E and its programs, visit www.globalgamingexpo.com.

Recovering from addiction is about changing one’s behavior. Anyone who has tried to diet, quit smoking or get off the couch and exercise knows the challenges first-hand. Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a patient-centered directive method for helping the client to change by exploring and resolving their ambivalence about change. Dr. Freese will discuss the application of MI in clinical practice for clients with addictive behaviors, referencing the research that has demonstrated the effectiveness of this approach.

discussion Point: Motivational Interviewing for Gambling disordersRespondent: Terri-Lynn MacKay, Ph.D., University of

Nevada, Las Vegas

Gambling problems, similar to other addictions, are essentially motivational challenges. MI addresses this head on, helping the person to find the resolve to move ahead.
