Risk is inescapable, but we get to choose which risks we take.
Listen to this message from the Neighborhood Youth Association on choosing risks that make us better people and are investments in ourselves.
For Yourself
If you are struggling with a gambling problem, remember that you’re not alone. Experienced professionals are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to help you.
For Others
If someone you care about, such as a parent, partner, youth, friend or colleague, appears to be suffering from a gambling disorder, help is available.
For Professionals
Problem gambling affects a number of professions, and Minnesota is fortunate to have skilled professionals to assist with recovery in the areas of counseling, legal, healthcare, and financial.
For Communities
Certain groups of people have an increased risk of developing a gambling problem such as specific cultural communities and those at the college/university setting.
A recent study found that 56,000 Minnesota adults struggle with problem gambling, and 162,000 more are at risk of addiction. The good news is, help is available, and recovery is possible.
No judgment. Only hope.
