March is recognized as Problem Gambling Awareness Month. Liz Lanza serves as director of the Office of Compulsive and Problem Gambling at the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board. She joins Sen. Kristin Phillips-Hill to talk about her background and how she is proactively working to address problem gambling across the Commonwealth. Sen. Phillips-Hill and Ms. Lanza cover a variety of topics, including signs to look for with someone who may have a gambling addiction and steps to take to help someone with a gambling addiction. They also review legislation that would drive all new gaming revenue to school property tax relief and a measure to provide additional treatment to problem gamblers.
If you or someone you know is struggling with a gambling addiction, please call 1-800-GAMBLER or visit ResponsiblePlay.pa.gov.
