Course Outline:
Review of research on stigma associated with gambling and gambling disorder
Describe how loved ones of those with gambling disorder may experience stigma
Define “person first” language and review ways language contributes to stigma and shame
Present strategies for reducing stigma and assisting clients in overcoming issues of shame
Educational Goal(s):
A couple of years I ago, I was sitting next to a dear friend and person in recovery from a gambling disorder. I leaned over and whispered to her how distressing I found it for the presenter to refer to a person in recovery as “the gambler.” She said, “I know, if they say that one more time, I may scream.”
This use of language is the norm, not the exception. It is so ubiquitous we don’t even think about it. Much more has been written about the significance of the language of recovery in the Substance Use Disorder and Mental Health fields; particularly around issues of stigma and shame. This presentation will address the importance of how to use words and language to reduce stigma in the field of gambling disorder for both individuals in recovery and their partners in recovery.
Educational Objective(s):
Participants will be able to:
Identify evidence for how gambling disorder is stigmatized.
Identify ways in which those in relationship with individuals experiencing gambling disorder experience stigma
Define person first language and how even “neutral” terms may contribute to stigma around gambling disorder
Identify effective strategies for reducing the stigma associated with harmful gambling
