Upcoming Events
National Gambling Screening Day 2025
March is Problem Gambling Awareness Month (PGAM)!
Gambling Disorder leads to financial, emotional, social, occupational, and physical harms, yet many cases go undetected and untreated. Failure to detect gambling harm is due, in part, to limited screening for this problem. Gambling Disorder Screening Day is an international grassroots event designed to increase awareness of gambling harm, and support and encourage providers to screen for Gambling Disorder in a variety of settings.
In efforts to raise awareness of problem gambling, prevention, and treatment, screenings for problem gambling will be conducted by MARS in the community at various locations. March 11, 2025 is a day where we encourage everyone to screen for Gambling Disorder. Screening Day has helped identify individuals who might have Gambling Disorder and should seek further assessment. Have you ever wondered if gambling has gone too far for you or someone you care about? Want to screen on March 11th? Come to any of the listed locations to get screened!
