Not Just a Hobby: Exploring the Behavioral Risks of Modern Collecting

Learning Objectives:

This training will explore the emerging intersection between collecting, compulsive spending, and gambling-adjacent behaviors, including the role of variable rewards, social media, live commerce, and frictionless purchasing. Drawing from lived experience and the work of Collectors MD, Alyx Effron will introduce The CMD Framework and discuss practical approaches to prevention, early intervention, education, and support without stigmatizing collecting or the communities built around it.
