In carrying out our mission, the Nebraska Council on Compulsive Gambling
reviews the significant amount of research that is regularly forwarded to
us. Many times the research points out the negative side of gambling on individuals
and communities. There is, however, research that shows gambling's negative
impact is no more destructive than other disorders already prevalent in our
society. As we continue down the road of determining the true impact of gambling,
it is imperative we look at all sides of the debate and enter into a rational
discussion of the true impact of gambling on our state. The purpose of the
Nebraska Council is to provide awareness that problem gamblers exist and we
are neither for nor against gambling, but instead are for problem gamblers
and their families getting qualified, timely services to help them overcome
their gambling problem. Please join us in a rational debate around gambling
and support helping families affected by pathological and problem gambling.
