Help and Hope

National Month of Hope  

April is the National Month of Hope. Hope is positive, strong, and bright. If you are struggling with your gambling, hope may seem impossible. You may be feeling depressed or anxious because of your gambling. Here at the Problem Gambling Resource Centers we want you to know that there is hope. There is a light at the end of the tunnel, and that light is getting resources and treatment for your gambling.  

At the New York State Problem Gambling Resource Centers, we have a community of strong advocates and those in recovery who help us spread hope. If you are worried about what the future holds, take a listen or read the inspiring stories of hope from others who have been struggling with their gambling.
