On Wednesday, April 24, Joseph Kane from the Council on Compulsive Gambling of NJ presented to the Rotary Club of Berkeley Heights at their lunch meeting at Delicious Heights. The Council on Compulsive Gambling of New Jersey, Inc. (Council) is a private non-profit 501(c)3 organization composed of concerned individuals from diverse backgrounds. The group’s primary purpose is to represent the best interest of problem and disordered gamblers and their families, recognizing that problem gambling is a treatable condition.
The Council focuses on educating the general public, training professionals throughout the State, referring problem and disordered gamblers and their families to treatment, and advocating for increased treatment services for problem and disordered gamblers and their families.
The Council also performs certain services under contract with the New Jersey Department of Human Services; provides the executive and legislative branches of State government with relevant data on all aspects of the problem and disordered gambling problem; and provides assistance to those private or public agencies in the State who request it.
The Council neither opposes nor endorses legalized gambling. However, the Council may take positions on various issues surrounding legalized gambling when the members believe that taking a stand is in the best interest of problem and disordered gamblers and their families.
The Council’s 1-800-GAMBLER® Helpline and website www.800gambler.org have been resources for thousands of people with a gambling problem, those in recovery, as well as their friends and families. The 1-800-GAMBLER® helpline is free and confidential, and is available 24 hours a day in New Jersey and throughout much of the U.S.
If you or anyone you know is struggling with a gambling problem, please give them a call at 1-800-GAMBLER. They provide support, treatment, and hope 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
