8th Annual Problem Gambling Awareness Week

March 7-13, 2010


Real Addiction, Real Awareness                            


During National Problem Gambling Awareness Week we are working to raise awareness of the consequences of problem gambling and the resources available for help.  This initiative is also a celebration of the men and women who are overcoming problems associated with their gambling behavior.

We are encouraging the sharing of information with healthcare providers, community agencies and businesses throughout the state. The Nevada Council is asking to work WITH YOU in your efforts of bringing about awareness. Please contact us to help you with your ideas, events or any other services you may need assistance with.


When we work with each other, our voices are heard. It’s time for Problem gambling to be heard and known by all Nevadans as a community health issue!
