In this episode we welcome Michelle Hadden, Executive Director, and Kristin Sweeter, Assistant Executive Director of Program, from the New York Council on Problem Gambling (NYCPG). They join us to discuss the future of the field of gambling harm prevention, treatment and recovery, and the NYCPG. Questions that are discussed include:

• How did the plan to create the Problem Gambling Resource Centers across NYS evolve?
• What kind of challenges are posed when designing and implementing statewide programs?
• What projects are we looking forward to and how are the trends in NYS directing those initiatives?
• If you had a magic wand, what would it look like for gambling harms services and support services in NYS?

If you find yourself struggling with gambling harm, or if you suspect someone you know is facing such challenges, don’t hesitate to seek help. For 24/7 support, call the NYS OASAS HOPEline at 1-877-846-7369 or text 467369.
