Join Prevention Solutions at EDC as we explore problem gambling within the broader societal context, including individual, community, and societal factors, the relationship of problem gambling to other problems, and populations at greatest risk.
Problem gambling is a public health and social justice issue that impacts individuals, families, and communities. Join EDC on Friday, April 28th from 1:00 to 2:00 pm EST for a conversation around problem gambling. Our experts will speak on the broader social context and influences surrounding problem gambling and the current prevention landscape.
We invite you to contribute to this rich conversation and hope our recommended resources prove helpful. If you are unable to join the webinar, register anyway and we’ll send you post-event materials.
