What’s New:

Hello Long Island!

Spring is here and we are ready to welcome the warm weather! March not only brings us warmer weather and more sunshine, it also brings us Problem Gambling Awareness Month (PGAM)! We are looking for all individuals/facilities to get involved in raising awareness. Opportunities to get involved whether you are a treatment/prevention facility, a doctors office, a place of business, a mother, friend, spouse, father, or gambler are available to you as we know gambling can happen anywhere and can impact anyone.   Please visit our website to learn about the opportunities you can get involved https://nyproblemgambling.org/pgam/.

This week we are focusing on treatment! We have a new E-Screener, which allows you to self- test and see if you may need additional help to address your gambling concerns. The E-Screener is at the top left tab of this page or you can visit https://nyproblemgamblinghelp.org/e-screener/.

We are pleased to announce that we will continue to offer a FREE monthly online support group for family members. These sessions are held on the second Thursday of each month from 8 to 9 p.m. You can register to participate HERE.
