 New
Jersey's Governor Chris
Christie has issued a
proclamation and
declared March, 2010 as
Problem Gambling
Awareness Month.
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.
The Council on
Compulsive Gambling of
NJ, Inc. provides
information, education
and referral services to
compulsive gamblers,
their families and
friends. We work
tirelessly towards
society's acceptance of
compulsive gambling as a
treatable illness.
Our 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
will use these
resources and
information to
promote awareness of
problem gambling,
and more
importantly, that
there is hope and
help for those who
suffer from gambling
problems.
