Training Description:

As problem gambling services continue to expand, interdisciplinary collaboration between clinical professionals and peer support specialists has become increasingly essential. While both roles aim to support recovery and improve quality of life, they operate within distinct ethical frameworks and boundary expectations that can at times overlap—or conflict. This co-facilitated session brings together a clinician and a peer support specialist to explore the similarities and differences in ethical responsibilities, boundary setting, and role clarity when working with individuals experiencing gambling-related harm. Participants will examine how lived experience, mutuality, and self-disclosure shape peer support relationships, compared to the structured, treatment-oriented approaches commonly found in clinical practice. This session will also highlight common ethical dilemmas, potential boundary challenges, and strategies for maintaining integrity while fostering collaboration.

 

 

 

Learning Objectives:

  1. Participants will be able to identify key distinctions between peer and clinical roles
  2. Apply ethical decision-making strategies that will strengthen collaborative practices that honor both disciplines while enhancing support for individuals impacted by problem gambling.
