About the Evergreen Council on Problem Gambling
The Evergreen Council on Problem Gambling was established in 1981 as a private, nonprofit organization under the name Washington State Council on Problem Gambling. The Council is committed to providing support and services for problem gamblers, their families, employers, students, treatment professionals, and the greater community through information and education, advocacy, and referral to treatment services. The Council provides statewide confidential support through its 24-hour Problem Gambling Helpline (800.547.6133) and public awareness, education, prevention, training, and resource development services.
The Council maintains a position of neutrality on gambling, recognizing that most people who gamble do so for recreation and suffer no serious problems. However, for some, gambling becomes a serious addiction, devastating to the individual and family. Our Council’s core purpose is to advocate for programs and services to assist problem gamblers and their families.
The Evergreen Council on Problem Gambling is an affiliate of the National Council on Problem Gambling (www.ncpgambling.org), with access to the latest research, treatment alternatives, and other issues of importance relating to problem gambling.
