National Council on Problem Gambling (United States)
Résumé
The National Council on Problem Gambling is the oldest organization on gambling issues in the United States. It was founded in 1972 by Msgr. Joseph A. Dunne and Dr. Robert Custer, among others. The Council established two principles:
that the organization would be the advocate for problem gamblers and their families
that it would maintain a neutral stance regarding the activity of gambling
The National Council's mission is to lead state and national stakeholders in the development of comprehensive policy and programs for all those affected by problem gambling with the purpose of serving as the national advocate for programs and services to assist problem gamblers and their families. It is neither for nor against legalized gambling.
The NCPG concentrates efforts on the national level, while the state affiliates work at the state and local level. NCPG's network of state affiliate, individual and corporate members includes leaders in prevention, education, treatment, enforcement, research, responsible gaming and recovery communities.
Keith Whyte became the executive director of the NCPG in October 1998. He oversees NCPG operations, with a specific focus on legislative advocacy, media relations, research, and public policy. Previously, he served as Director of Research for The American Gaming Association.
NCPG provides the opportunity to become a Counselor to stay up-to-date on everything about Problem Gambling, receive benefits of membership and help people. It requires training and certification. Special certifications are available for clergy/lay ministers, co-occurring disorder specialists, and video-gaming disorder. Certification standards established by the IGCCB represent the current best practices in the field of disordered gambling and gaming treatment. The programs include:
ICGC-I & ICGC-II: focused on gambling-specific training and clinical experience treating gamblers.
International Co-Occurring Gambling Specialist Certificate (ICOGS): provides knowledge in the field of mental health treatment programs and counselors to address gambling problems in their clients.
