March is Gambling Awareness Month

March is Gambling Awareness Month and has become one of the biggest gambling occasions because of the massive popularity of the NCAA “March Madness” Basketball Tournament.  Between 8 and 12 million people meet criteria for gambling problems.  Yet only a fraction seek help.  We believe many who suffer in silence do so because they don’t know why they developed a problem, what gambling addiction is or where to get help.  If you think you may have a gambling problem, there is help.  Click the gambling tab under gambling facts for a list of counselors in our area.
