Adolescent Gambling and Gaming Series – Online, Self-paced Training

2025-2026 Academic Year

Course Description: This course will take behavioral health clinicians through seven modules providing psychoeducation, evidence-based treatment modalities, screening tools, and evidence-based prevention tools and strategies. The modules will also explore how the brain is impacted by both substance misuse and behavioral addictions and provide an understanding of how the power of advanced technology, marketing, advertising, and persuasive design coupled with commercial interests have made an impact on our lives in both positive and negative ways. Behavioral health clinicians will learn to discuss the online world by incorporating language in media literacy and the importance of a healthy media diet, and be left with a feeling of hope found in research, evidence-based practices, and community partnerships.

Association for Creativity in Counseling 2026 Conference

November 12-14, 2026

The Association for Creativity in Counseling would like to formally invite you to register for our conference (and to save some money before early bird pricing ends on August 1).

Our 2026 conference theme is Equity Without Borders: Creativity, Access, and Advocacy. We are looking forward to seeing folks online as this is our online conference year!

Included in your ticket are seven pre-conference workshop options, a multitude of creative and experiential sessions, an awards ceremony and ACC update convening, the annual advocacy panel, and the annual creative interventions fair! Additionally, once session evaluations are completed, most sessions are approved for NBCC continuing education credit (and are marked as not being eligible for those credits if that applies). We also are happy to offer APT CE credit (for those seeking it) for the relevant play therapy sessions each day as long as you complete the post-test and evaluation components required. All of this for a single ticket price! Be sure to attend the sessions that intrigue you most so you can meet your ongoing licensure and certification continuing education requirements.

We are also selling our ACC Spirit t-shirts. You can add-on a t-shirt when you purchase your conference ticket. For $30, you can have a soft, comfortable, machine washable, 100% cotton, aqua blue t-shirt shipped directly to you and then wear it with pride when you’re out and about (and even at the conference).
