Problem Gambling and Mental Health Resources

Our mission is to raise awareness in Springfield and surrounding communities, about problem gambling and its connection to mental health, substance use and other related issues.


We know the statistics show youth in Springfield (and communities like ours) are at higher risk for problem gambling and mental health challenges.  In response to the statistics, our goal is to inform Springfield and neighboring communities about problem gambling, encourage them to seek help with their mental health when necessary, and to provide readily available resources for anyone seeking gambling and mental health support.
