2026 Washington State Campaign and Awareness Efforts

It’s Your Life. It’s Your Tomorrow.

Gambling should never stand in the way of either.

During Problem Gambling Awareness Month, the Evergreen Council on Problem Gambling is reminding Washington residents that support, prevention, and recovery resources are available statewide. We help individuals, families, veterans, retirees, and workers recognize the signs of gambling-related harm and find a path forward. We offer free, confidential support 24/7 by phone, text, or chat, along with trusted referrals, education, professional training, and partnerships that strengthen communities across Washington. Whether you need help for yourself, guidance for someone you care about, or simply want to understand the risks, we are here. Because protecting tomorrow starts today.

Get the help you need to live the life you want.

Help Start Here.
