Casa Esperanza: Problem Gambling Services
Understanding Problem Gambling
Problem gambling, also known as compulsive gambling or gambling addiction, is a behavioral disorder that occurs when a person cannot control their urge to gamble despite negative consequences. Latine communities often face unique challenges, such as cultural stigma and lack of access to culturally competent care.
