Problem Gambling Awareness Month (PGAM), what is it:

Problem Gambling Awareness Month (PGAM) is an annual campaign designed to increase public awareness of the issue of problem gambling and promote resources for prevention, education, and treatment. It is typically observed in March each year. The campaign aims to highlight the impact of problem gambling on individuals, families, and communities while encouraging people to seek help if needed.

During PGAM, various organizations, including gambling addiction treatment centers, advocacy groups, and government agencies, may conduct outreach activities such as community events, educational seminars, and media campaigns to raise awareness about the signs of problem gambling and the available support services.

The goal is to reduce the stigma associated with gambling addiction, promote responsible gambling practices, and provide information and resources for those who may be struggling with gambling-related issues. If you or someone you know is experiencing problems related to gambling, PGAM serves as a reminder to seek assistance and support.
