| Description: |
The Problem Gambling Coalition of Colorado (PGCC) is pleased to present the 8th Annual Problem Gambling Awareness Week campaign, a grassroots public awareness and outreach campaign. It will be held March 7-13, 2010.
The goal of this campaign is to educate the general public and health care professionals about the warning signs of problem gambling and raise awareness about the help that is available both locally and nationally.
Research finds that 2%-3% of the US population will have a gambling problem in any given year. That’s 6 million to 9 million Americans yet only a small fraction seek out services, such as treatment and self-help recovery programs.
We hope that you join us in spreading the word about this issue. More information is available on our Library page. There is hope and help for those who suffer from gambling problems. |
