Presented by Dr. Michael Wohl

Dr. Michael Wohl (Professor, Carleton University) focuses his research attention on, among other things, factors that 1) facilitate responsible gambling, 2) predict problem gambling, and 3) help overcome barriers to behavioural change. He has published over 100 peer-reviewed papers and is the receipt of two Carleton University Research Achievement Awards and a Carleton University Teaching Excellence Award.

Workshop summary:

Although gambling is a common form of entertainment, play carries significant risk of adverse psychological, social, and physical health consequences. During the morning session, we will discuss the pathways to problem gambling and means to cultivate smart (i.e., responsible) play. The afternoon session will focus on barriers to change and ways to overcome those barriers.
