National Problem Gambling Awareness Week is March 7 through March 13. The Alpert Jewish Family & Children's Service is in its third year as a partner agency for the Florida Council on Compulsive Gambling. During this week, and throughout the year, AJFCS conducts presentations, distributes material, and helps educate the community on the issue of problem gambling and the assistance available to those in need.
The Florida Council on Compulsive Gambling is a membership based non-profit educational and advocacy organization under contract with Florida state government.
The Florida Council on Compulsive Gambling (FCCG) is committed to increasing public awareness about problem and compulsive gambling. The FCCG provides services and supports to residents in need of assistance, as well as to professionals and others servicing this population. The Florida Council on Compulsive Gambling's dedicated and highly trained staff is prepared to assist, whether you are an individual in search of help for a gambling problem, a professional seeking guidance, an educator or student in pursuit of research, a treatment provider in need of training, a probation officer looking for community-based referral supports, or someone with an interest in obtaining other information for another purpose.
The Council is guided by a volunteer Board of Directors that brings expertise in the areas of gambling and problem gambling, including but not limited to legal and financial issues, education for professionals, and treatment.
The FCCG’s team of skilled personnel, along with its qualified Board of Directors, can provide specialized assistance in the areas of help and resources for a gambling problem, and offers a broad range of other services, including information, research and additional supports.
