Keyword Details: Gambling Addiction Prevention Programs
Programs that attempt to reduce the incidence of problem gambling through a variety of educational interventions which help people understand the nature of problem gambling (gambling that causes psychological, physical, social or vocational disruptions in the lives of people for whom gambling is an issue); the risk factors and warning signs; and sources for treatment and support. Included are prevention programs that address specific target populations (e.g., helping professionals, people who are at risk for the problem or people who are concerned about their own gambling or the gambling of someone they care about) as well as those that are intended to reach the community at large. Delivery formats may include printed materials, videos or websites that address the subject and presentations in schools and agencies and to family groups.
The Wisconsin Council on Problem Gambling can confidentially refer callers to current Self-Help Information (such as local meetings of Gamblers Anonymous and Gam-Anon), Treatment Provider Referrals, Crisis Center Information, In-Patient Centers and many other community resources.
