Making Gambling Prevention a Priority
Over the recent years, gambling has changed quite a bit in the New England states. If someone wants to gamble, all they need to do is simply take their phone out of their pocket. Although changes such as ease of access create new opportunities, they also create new risks for potential harm. This interactive workshop will provide participants with an overall understanding of the current gambling landscape and the impact experienced so far with expansions. We will review emerging trends and available data, share gambling-specific prevention strategies, and highlight ways to put ‘Prevention in Action’ when it comes to problem gambling.
