Governor Kelly Armstrong has designated March as Problem Gambling Awareness Month in North Dakota. This initiative aims to raise awareness about gambling-related issues and highlight the support available for those affected. The full proclamation is accessible online.
North Dakota Health and Human Services (HHS) is urging residents to utilize a free, confidential online screening tool at gamblernd.com/diagnosing-a-problem. This tool helps individuals assess potential gambling concerns and connect with necessary resources.
"Gambling challenges can impact individuals and families from all walks of life," said HHS Gambling Disorder Clinical Lead Lisa Vig-Johnson. "Recognizing the signs early is crucial. Taking the online screening is a quick and effective way for people to evaluate their gambling behaviors and connect with supportive services."
Problem gambling involves behaviors that disrupt personal, family, or work life. To aid those affected, HHS provides various services such as online recovery courses, individual and group counseling, financial resources, and educational materials aimed at promoting informed gambling choices.
The website gamblernd.org offers insights into different types of gambling issues, responsible play tips, success stories from others, recovery pathways, and immediate help at no cost. HHS's goal is to equip North Dakotans with tools for making positive changes.
