New outreach campaign focuses on family issues

Most people who call our helpline have lost more than just money.  Many of them report that gambling has torn apart their families.   Some say gambling has caused them to miss important events in their children's lives.  We hope that this campaign reminds everyone that when you have a gambling addiction, you are risking much more than money.   All of our network counselors specialize in helping families as well as problem gamblers.

 New data released!
