As we observe Problem Gambling Awareness Month (PGAM) this March 2025, it's crucial to shed light on the escalating issue of problem gambling, especially among individuals from families predisposed to the disease of addiction. The theme "Seeking Understanding" resonates deeply as we explore the intersection between gambling disorder and children impacted by addictions (COAs), who may be at heightened risk for such behaviors. https://lnkd.in/gSh3kXj3

This event, now in its 14th year, is an annual favorite for families who wish to celebrate St Patrick’s Day and their Irish heritage – or pretend to be Irish for the day! – in a sober and fun-filled way! The NYC festivities include its Grand Celebration, participation in the NYC St. Patrick’s Day Parade, and a silent auction. Tickets for the Grand Celebration – which includes great food, award-winning Irish dancing and champion musicians – always sell out. Learn more about the NYC event, or get ideas about an event you can host with family and friends, celebrate Irish culture and build community without alcohol. https://lnkd.in/d2ApfFE
