Mission Statement

We strive to prevent the onset and progression of problem, compulsive and pathological gambling by providing information using a variety of communication resources to increase the general public’s awareness of gambling addiction, by providing training to professionals to recognize, treat and help gamblers and their families and by developing presentation models for at-risk populations, particularly youth, college-aged and older gamblers.

We endeavor to provide leadership in providing quality services, accurate information, up-to-date research, and innovative programs and problem identification in the field of problem and compulsive gambling.
