Did you know that there are coalitions in New England dedicated to providing programs and services aimed at the prevention and treatment of problem gambling and gambling addiction?
Often, problem gambling can be a co-occurring condition with a substance addiction. There is a whole workforce right here in New England dedicated to raising awareness and providing resources and services for problem gambling. What are the opportunities for the problem gambling and substance use disorder prevention workforces to work together?
