Together Gateway Foundation, The Way Back Inn, TASC, and Midwest Asian Health Association are joining forces to put together a four-part series of virtual panels and presentations from March 29th to March 31st to inform the general public and interested parties on the importance of recognizing gambling disorder as an addiction that requires treatment and services.

This joint effort will focus on defining gambling disorder as an addiction, highlight the importance of ending stigma to ensure people access treatment, provide practical information on how to access treatment services, and provide a look into how members of the IL General Assembly and the Department of Human Services are working to ensure that people who need help get it. Each panel presentation will be offered via Zoom and select sessions will offer Continuing Education Credits (CE).

Thanks so much for sharing this! Passing through Chinatown, I often see all the casino tour buses lined up to pick people up.
