WHO WE ARE?
In June 1998, 13 interested Ontario professionals met to explore and develop quality standards and criteria in order to certify problem gambling counsellors in Canada. A non-profit agency, this Board is dedicated to ensuring that individuals seeking assistance for or about gambling problems have access to professionals who have met a measured knowledge, skill and competence in this area of counselling. The Board has created a process that will allow such counsellors to be recognized as Canadian Problem Gambling Counsellors.
The Canadian Problem Gambling Certification Board operates under the following mandate:
- ensuring professional growth through further education
- providing information, assistance and certification
- setting quality standards and criteria
- evaluating skills, knowledge and experience
- advocating for high standards of ethical practice
