The Hidden Addiction Podcast - Addressing Gambling Harms In The AAPI Community

In this episode we welcome Venus Moore from the New York City Problem Gambling Resource Center and Amanda Pham from the Chinatown 360 Prevention Community Coalition to discuss the connection between gambling harm and the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community.

• What is the experience of working in the Harmony Task Force?
• What misconceptions might people have when it comes to AAPI communities and gambling harm?
• How do we avoid stigma as it relates to the AAPI community when we’re discussing gambling harms?
• How do organizations make prevention, education and treatment of gambling harms more welcoming and culturally responsive?
• How can communities make it easier to ask for support?
• How can community members help praise awareness of gaming harms and resources?
• What is the most important takeaway for the listeners working with the AAPI communities?
