Gambling and Its Effects

Past event
Mar 28, 2022, 6 to 7:15 PM

Like alcohol, tobacco, and opioids, gambling can become a serious and harmful addiction. Online sports betting puts gambling within easy reach, and research shows that gambling disorders now affect about one percent of the population. Along with financial loss, problem gambling can lead to broken interpersonal relationships, a range of medical consequences, anxiety, domestic violence, and substance use. Our panel will discuss the signs of problem gambling and resources available to Vermonters who are concerned for themselves or loved ones.
