What’s New:
The new year is off to a busy start! Communities all over the region are taking steps to learn more about problem gambling and the Western PGRC. In these communities, many people are taking the important first step toward getting help for themselves because they are struggling with gambling or being affected by a loved one’s gambling.
Buffalo City Councilman Bryan Bollman invited us to have a conversation about problem gambling and how our services can help people in the Buffalo Lovejoy District. He is dedicated to highlighting resources available to his constituents. Thank you for spreading the word through your many connections.
Todd Anderson from Townsquare Media highlighted problem gambling and the PGRC on the Public Affairs radio show airing on 92.9 Jack FM, 93.7 WBLK, 96.1 The Breeze, and 106.5 WYRK. We’re thankful for the opportunity to raise awareness among thousands of listeners throughout our region and hopefully reach people who are negatively affected by problem gambling.
With Problem Gambling Awareness Month coming up in March, many of our partners are seeking a variety of educational sessions, particularly our Problem Gambling 101. We are grateful to all those who want to share this information with their colleagues, partners and clients and are including the Western PGRC in those plans!
