Join us for an insightful and engaging webinar, “Beyond the Month: Sustained Policy Impact on Problem Gambling,” where we delve into the crucial role of policy in combating problem gambling year-round. While Problem Gambling Awareness Month (PGAM) brings critical attention to the issue each year, the need for effective policy intervention extends far beyond these 31 days.
In this webinar, experts in public policy, addiction studies, and gambling regulation will outline the significant strides made through policy during PGAM and explore how these initiatives can be sustained and expanded to ensure long-term impact. Through real-world examples and data-driven insights, we will discuss strategies for crafting policies that not only mitigate the immediate risks associated with problem gambling but also foster a supportive environment for those affected in the long run.
Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of:
-The current landscape of problem gambling and its societal ramifications.
-Key policy successes achieved during Problem Gambling Awareness Month.
-Strategies for maintaining momentum and keeping problem gambling on the policy agenda year-round.
-The role of collaboration between government bodies, non-profits, and the gaming industry in policy development and implementation.
-Innovative policy solutions from around the globe that have effectively reduced the prevalence of problem gambling.
Whether you are a policymaker, public health professional, industry stakeholder, or advocate, this webinar offers a valuable opportunity to learn about the vital role of continuous policy efforts in addressing problem gambling.
