Help to Stop Gambling and Finger Lakes PGRC News:

Our Program Manager, Sarah Bryant, has been working hard to provide PGRC information to the Monroe County Court System.  Sarah’s focus is to work more closely with our local justice systems while also providing problem gambling resources to those in need of services.  Also, her work has started to take her into counties bordering Monroe, including Wayne County!  We are hopeful that next the court systems will include brief gambling screens, so that we can continue to provide referral to problem gambling treatment services.


The Monroe County Medical Society’s “The Bulletin” magazine features “Problem Gambling: The Hidden Addiction” for their May issue.  These copies will be distributed across Monroe County physician offices.
