The Council on Compulsive Gambling of New Jersey’s observance of Problem Gambling Awareness Month will include a symposium: “The Hidden Epidemic: A Public Health Concern.” This free, in-person symposium will take place on Thursday, March 13, 2025, from 8:30 am. to 2:30 p.m. at the Westminster Presbyterian Church. 1140 Greenwood Ave., Trenton, N.J. 08609.
Problem gambling harm has worsened in recent years to create a pressing public health crisis, affecting not only individuals but entire families and communities. The alarming spike in calls to our 800-Gambler Helpline underscores the devastating consequences, including:
- Strained mental health with heightened suicidal ideation
- Ruined finances and homelessness
- Broken relationships and family dynamics
- Increased risk of domestic violence and abuse
Join us at our symposium to explore the intersection of problem gambling and public health, featuring expert insights, personal stories, and collaborative solutions. Together, let us shed light on this hidden epidemic and work towards a safer, healthier community.
CEUs will be available, and lunch will be provided.
