March is finally here! This is the month to celebrate Women and this is the month to welcome in the Spring Season. Most importantly we recognize Problem Gambling Awareness Month (PGAM for short). The New York Council on Problem Gambling has created an array of activities that every one of us can participate in. As an organization, we are excited about all the ways you can participate in PGAM.
Here is how you can help spread the word:
- Prevention- share our posts on social media, post up signage stating this is a Gambling-Free Safe Zone.
- Screening- participate in Screening Day (March 13th), toolkits and our e-screener is on our website.
- Treatment- If you know someone who is affected by or struggling with problem gambling, please call or text us at 914-215-6440 for help.
- Recovery- support is always available. Gamblers Anonymous and SMART recovery are resources available to those in recovery.
This work is nothing without the help of the community. Please help spread awareness, let’s be the change we want to see.
Please visit the PGAM Webpage to learn more about how to Prevent, Screen, Treat, and support Recovery from problem gambling.
Regionally, we are partnering with the Prevention Resource Center to talk about Escapism. This is a conversation that we often do not talk about in the field of gambling but it is there and is listed as a warning sign. Many people escape life’s traumas and challenges by escaping toward risky behaviors like gambling. Please join this online conversation on March 23rd at 11 am. 
Recovery Resources – #TalkingHelps
We understand the importance of peer support when it comes to problem gambling. Listening and learning from someone with lived experience is a valuable asset to someone’s recovery journey. We are so fortunate to have so many partners in recovery with lived experiences who are willing to listen to others and share their experiences with others.
We have our very own Hidden Addiction podcast, check us out on Google, Apple Anchor, or Spotify
