Problem Gambling Awareness Month, now entering its 17th year, is a grassroots campaign fostered by the National Council on Problem Gambling and other organizations. Groups across America hold conferences, air Public Service Announcements, host screening days, run social media campaigns and many other activities to increase public awareness of problem gambling and the availability of prevention, treatment & recovery services. The Council on Chemical Abuse has recognized Problem Gambling Awareness Month by hosting poster contests and running public awareness campaigns in Berks County.
