Webinar: Problem Gambling: Becoming a part of the solution

Problem gambling affects millions across the United States, with an estimated 2-3% of adults experiencing gambling disorder, according to the National Council on Problem Gambling. This translates to roughly 5-10 million Americans struggling with the financial, emotional, and relational consequences of compulsive gambling.

Often intertwined with mental health challenges and substance use disorders, problem gambling can devastate families https://mnapg.org/ and communities.
