Ingrado – Addiction Services and the Social Support Section of the Canton of Ticino, in collaboration with Ticino Addiction, are organising the conference ‘Addiction & Debt 3.0: new gambling habits and future challenges’, sponsored by, among others, the Department of Business Economics, Health and Social Care (DEASS) of SUPSI.

The initiative is part of the series of meetings entitled ‘Addictions & Debt’, which aims to explore the interconnection between the two issues, analysing their causes, consequences and possible ways of intervening. This third edition will be dedicated to the topic of pathological gambling, an addiction that can have serious economic and social repercussions, even leading to chronic debt.

The conference is aimed at doctors, psychologists, psychotherapists, social workers, counsellors, curators and all professionals working in the social and socio-health fields, offering food for thought and practical tools for addressing the challenges associated with this phenomenon.

In addition to specialists from Ticino and abroad, speakers will include Emiliano Soldini, senior lecturer and researcher at SUPSI's Competence centre for care, health and society (CARES), who will give a presentation on the analysis of gambling habits in Ticino.
