Help For Gamblers and Those Affected by Their Gambling
The State of California now has a program that will pay for your counseling.
"Problem gambling can affect everyday life situations. Depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties and mood swings can all be related to problem gambling. Almost 1 million adults in California experience these or similar symptoms."*
And, it's not just the gambler that suffers negative effects on their lives from problem gambling. The average gambler owes 7 other people money. This creates tremendous difficulty, not only for the gambler, but their family and friends.
If you, or someone you know, is experiencing a gambling problem*, the State of California will pay for your counseling. The state, in conjunction with UCLA, has trained a group of therapists to provide this treatment and support.
This confidential service is FREE to gamblers and anyone affected by their gambling.
Call us with your questions: 818 788-2738
*this includes people who have had problems with stock trading.
