ADG collaborators are teaming up with the National Council of Problem Gambling.
“Arizona Problem Gambling Awareness Month aims to spread the word and highlight the resources available to those who suffer from problem gambling.” “The good news is that help is available. DPG has resources widely available to Arizonans to help those who may be impacted by problem gambling to take the next step.”
Together, they are partaking in the "Awareness + Action" campaign. This campaign will help foster a stronger understanding of problem gambling and the ways to prevent and combat it, says the ADG.
