On this weekend’s “Minding Your Business” on News 12+, Council on Compulsive Gambling of New Jersey Executive Director Felicia Grondin talks with host Bob Considine about the increase of addictive gambling in New Jersey that has occurred with the onset of legalized online betting.

The CCGNJ, which has been in existence for more than 40 years, exists to heighten the awareness of problem gambling in New Jersey, providing numerous resources for individuals struggling with the addiction, as well as their families. More information can be found at their website www.800gambler.org.

On September 20, CCGNJ will hold its annual conference, entitled Betting on Change: Confronting the Surge in Problem Gambling, at the New Jersey Hospital Association’s headquarters in Princeton. To register, click here.
