Description

In this episode, we have a guest host from New York City PGRC and Dr. Deborah Haskins. Together we talk about the systemic barriers affiliated with the world of problem gambling. Dr. Haskins breaks down the barriers in treatment, prevention, and organizationally. In order for us to move forward and be able to serve a variety of communities we have to check our own implicit biases. As Dr. Haskins put it, we need to step aside.For more information about Dr. Haskins and her advocacy work, please visit her website https://www.drdeborahhaskins.com/advocacy-1If you or a loved one is experiencing problems related to their gambling, please know help is available. We can be reached at Mid-HudsonPGRC@nyproblemgambling.org or 914-215-6440 and we will help you access resources.

Hello and welcome to the Hidden Addiction Podcast. This podcast is brought to you by the Mid-Hudson Problem Gambling Resource Center under the New York Council on Problem Gambling. Across New York state we have 7 resource centers dedicated to connecting individuals to care. We are here to increase awareness about problem gambling and advocate for support services for persons adversely affected by problem gambling. Problem Gambling is defined as risking something of value on a game of chance. There can be many types of gambling, and it can affect anyone at any time in their life. It may not be talked about often and kept in the dark, but we hope this podcast sheds light on the hidden addiction of gambling and brings forth resources and information for you to use.
