March is Problem Gambling Awareness Month, and a gambling counselor and former problem gambler wants to see more done to help those who are suffering.
Dr. Harry Levant, an internationally certified gambling counselor and Doctor of Law and Policy, spoke at the 17th Annual Michigan Gambling Disorder Symposium last Thursday to discuss the need for a comprehensive public health response in regard to responsible gambling and gambling addiction.
Levant believes more needs to be done to prevent gambling addiction, and that one month devoted to awareness is simply not enough. “It is my fundamental belief that prevention is the best form of treatment.”
