< span> 2021 National Recovery Month theme “Recovery is For Everyone: Every Person, Every Family, Every Communit y,” reminds people in recovery and those who support them that no one is alone in the journey through recovery. Everyone's journey is different, but we are all in this together.

Clinical Work with Behavioral Addictions: A Primer
This is a live, synchronous webinar for 1.5 Core Hours. B ehavioral addictions (e.g., gambling, gaming, sex, shopping, pornography) a re rewarding behaviors that become compulsive, out of control, continue des pite negative consequences, and induce cravings or mental preoccupation (AS AM, 2019; APA, 2013; Griffiths, 2005; Kardefelt-Winther et al., 2017). Like drugs of abuse, potentially addictive behaviors activate reward circuitry in the brain (APA, 2013; Karim & Chaudhri, 2012; Wise & Koob, 2014; Wise & Robble, 2020) and are both positively and negatively reinforcin g (Goodman, 2001).
Among vulnerable individuals (e.g., those with ge netic predispositions, a history of trauma, specific mental health concerns , or exposure to social modeling), rewarding behaviors can become the prima ry means of emotion regulation and lead to detrimental outcomes. In light o f the accessibility, affordability, and frequency of potentially addictive behaviors, counselors in all settings (e.g., schools, college counseling ce nters, community agencies, hospitals, private practice) should be equipped to recognize and respond to behavioral addictions. In this presentation, at tendees will learn how to conceptualize behavioral addictions using a publi c health model, be able to recognize behavioral addictions in their clinica l work, and become knowledgeable of treatment considerations for several pr ominent behavioral addictions. The presenter will describe relevant neurosc ience related to addictive behaviors, updates to diagnostic manuals, and 12 -step programs specific to behavioral addictions.
Learning objectives:
1. Attendees wil l be able to synthesize current research and neuroscience related to the pr evalence and nature of behavioral addictions.
2. Attendees will be ab le to conceptualize behavioral addictions using a public health model and d escribe two methods for recognizing behavioral addictions in clinical work.
3. Attendees will be able to discuss treatment considerations for in ternet gaming addiction, sex and pornography addiction, food addiction, and gambling addiction.
