Tune in to our latest episode of ECPG LIVE! — Serving Latinx Communities — where our special guests will be sharing with us the unique relationship that gambling has in Latin cultures: views of luck, relationships with money, family dynamics, and how helping professionals can best serve their Latinx clients with a culturally sensitive and informed approach. We are very honored and excited to have guests this episode who are not only Spanish-speaking treatment professionals in the Mental Health and Substance Use fields but also specialize in Gambling treatment. 

Come share in this excitement for an opportunity to learn with a spirit of cultural humility, from some amazing people with expertise, compassion, kindness and outgoing personalities. Together we’ll celebrate Latinx communities while we learn ways to reduce barriers and provide culturally informed services.
