As many of you may or may not be aware, the funding that the FCCG receives for prevention, education and outreach through the Florida Lottery was eliminated along with many other state budget line items.  As the legislature has the ability to override the Governor’s veto’s, at this time we are asking you to contact your local legislative representatives and ask for their support in overriding the veto.

Please click this link "Legislator Request to Override Veto" to download  a sample letter that you can personalize and use as is if you like.  You can send both an email and a hard copy letter and you can also give them a call to discuss.  If you prefer to create your own correspondence obviously that is fine too.

We appreciate your continued support and hope to be able to continue to provide services to Floridians in need of assistance with a gambling problem!

Every day there is an influx of information surfacing about gambling and problem gambling, much of which is difficult to decipher, in particular for those first entering the field. In an effort to streamline facts and meaningful information and distribute to mainstream, as well as specialized populations, the FCCG reviews and compiles research in its effort to devise innovative programs and strategies in the areas of problem gambling prevention, education and treatment. The Agency sponsors and conducts training of all kinds, and is consistently conducting educational presentations and other forums across the state raising awareness among those young and older, and to service providers.
