Seniors at Risk: Gambling in Older Adults

ONLINE ONLY

1 CEU Hour Available

Is there really any harm in Grandma going to weekly Bingo or Grandpa spending his spare time at the poker table? Maybe, maybe not. We’ll discuss the blurry line between recreational and problematic gambling for older adults. We’ll talk about the unique reasons seniors are at risk of becoming addicted and facing more dire financial consequences. Learn what to do if an older person in your life is spending more time gambling and when to reach out for help. 

Presenter: Sheila Moran, MSW, LSW, ICGC
