For more than a year, COVID has altered almost everyone’s schedules! This has, no doubt, hampered many of us in gaining those valuable continuing education credits. Coming next month, the above conference is a wonderful opportunity to earn approximately 12 CEUs – free and in your own home! You are welcome to call the Indiana Council or IPGAP for any questions you may have about this event (see Questions?)
May we continue – through learning - to offer hope and help to persons affected by disordered gambling!
