Welcome to the brand new problem gambling prevention blog!
As you can see, it's really fresh and just a couple posts thus far, just to get us going.
Why a blog? And what can a blog do for us in the field of problem gambling prevention?
The point of this tool is to be able to share resources as things come up and request information from one another. Our field is so new, and we have so little time that having the opportunity to share can prove invaluable if we really do get involved.
The benefits of a blog are, among other things, more interactivity than a traditional website, and less email in already stuffed inboxes. You can come back at anytime, and post at anytime as well if you're an author.
Check out a couple of sample posts below. And for a good example of how a blog can benefit us, visit a related blog at gamingresearch.blogspot.com. While it's not specific to prevention (which is why we've begun this blog), there you will find updated research related to gambling.

Thanks. Happy blogging!
