3rd Annual African American Conference on Problem Gambling

A transformative event focused on addressing the unique challenges and impact of problem gambling within the African American community in Illinois

Join us for the 3rd Annual African American Conference on Problem Gambling, a transformative event focused on addressing the unique challenges and impact of problem gambling within the African American community in Illinois.

The African American community has been identified as an under-resourced population in the state, and this conference is dedicated to bridging the gap by providing essential education, resources, and support. By fostering dialogue and connection, we aim to empower attendees with knowledge about problem gambling and its far-reaching effects.

Event Highlights:

  • Dynamic Speakers: Experts will lead discussions on key topics such as stigma, raising awareness, treatment options, and the critical role of community involvement.
  • Educational Opportunities: Learn about the tools and resources available to support individuals and families affected by problem gambling.
  • Community Connection: Network with counselors, social workers, community leaders, and other attendees passionate about making a difference.
