At MNAPG, we understand that problem gambling can strain your finances. That's why we're excited to announce a valuable resource for those experiencing financial issues from gambling, whether you are the gambler or a family member: Financial Choice services through LSS Financial Counseling.
This joint effort pairs the financial expertise of LSS financial counselors with the problem gambling awareness training offered by MNAPG. Those who take advantage of this service will meet with a financial counselor who understands how gambling can negatively impact an individual or family’s finances.
This benefit provides access to six free and confidential financial counseling sessions. These sessions provide the guidance and support you need to address financial challenges brought on by problem gambling and to chart a path forward to financial stability.
The experienced, nonjudgmental counselors at LSS Financial Counseling can help you:
- Assess your current financial situation.
- Create a personalized budget and debt management plan.
- Develop strategies to avoid future financial pitfalls.
- Set and achieve long-term financial goals.
Sessions are available in person, by phone or online — whichever is most comfortable for you.
Don't face financial challenges alone. Reach out to LSS Financial Counseling to schedule your appointment, and take the first step toward financial recovery. LSS Financial Counseling is an experienced, nonprofit, full-service credit counseling agency.
