Recovery Resource Assessment Survey

Do you provide Recovery programming and resources? We invite you to participate in our Recovery Resource Assessment Survey (estimated 5-10 minutes).

This survey will assess partners’ and community organizations’ readiness for providing informed and supportive environments and programming for those negatively impacted by gambling-related harms. Data collected from this assessment will aid us as we update our resource list for clients and callers seeking local community support.

September is National Recovery Month, a special time that reminds us of the joy and possibilities that recovery brings. Every day, millions of individuals across the globe are recovering from mental health and addiction disorders. Among those conditions is gambling disorder. This month, we are proud to celebrate recovery from gambling harms.
Remember your local Problem Gambling Resource Center is here and ready to help you where you’re at, whether that’s at the start of your journey or looking for support in maintaining your recovery.

Problem Gambling, Suicide, and Veterans

On Friday, Sept 29th via Zoom, join the NYS Veteran Problem Gambling & Suicide Prevention Coalition to learn about the negative impact gambling can have on Veterans, how to screen Veterans for gambling-related harms and how together we can better serve veterans impacted. Contact Jonathan Crandall at [email protected] to learn more.
