Why do we do it?

We recognize a demonstrated need in communities and we respond to that need.

We provide services to assist organizations and people to make a difference. The difference hoped for is in the lives of people living with problem gambling. We act as a result of the mandate of Saskatchewan Health to deliver an important service to people in need.

Problem Gambling refers to any gambling behavior which adversely affects significant areas of a person's life, including their mental health, physical health, employment, family relationships, financial and legal status.

Saskatchewan Health, 1996
