For Providers Only

We regret to inform you that due to COVID-19, we have been forced towards the decision to cancel the upcoming core 30-hour clinical gambling trainings. We know that you have been looking forward to the training and would like to assure you that IDHS/SUPR has not taken this decision lightly. Our first priority is your health and safety, and social distancing is impossible during a training of this magnitude. We are working closely with Morneau Shepell to implement alternate training options as quickly as possible. In the meantime, we have a robust lineup of webinars in store for you. Please feel free to reach out to Robby Fuqua at [email protected] with any questions.
