This podcast is brought to you by the New York Council on Problem Gambling. Across New York state we have 7 resource centers dedicated to connecting individuals to care. We are here to increase awareness about problem gambling and advocate for support services for persons adversely affected by problem gambling. Problem Gambling is defined as risking something of value on a game of chance. There can be many types of gambling, and it can affect anyone at any time in their life. It may not be talked about often and kept in the dark, but we hope this podcast sheds light on the hidden addiction of gambling and brings forth resources and information for you to use.","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-hidden-addiction-podcast-3245482"},"episode":{"title":"The Hidden Addiction Podcast - Special Population: Aging and Older Adults","slug":"the-hidden-addiction-podcast-special-population-aging-and-older-adults","published_at":"2025-07-08T19:37:52+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-hidden-addiction-podcast-3245482/the-hidden-addiction-podcast-special-population-aging-and-older-adults","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-hidden-addiction-podcast-3245482","url":"https://rss.com/podcasts/midhudsonpgrc/2106652","audio_url":"https://content.rss.com/episodes/44592/2106652/midhudsonpgrc/2025_07_08_19_25_45_d9321809-bfef-4e27-8734-ab0821ef4bfd.mp3","summary":"In this episode we welcome Sheena Smith, Team Leader for the New York City Problem Gambling Resource Center.

How is the topic of problem gambling viewed differently for the older population? Why is this population at a higher risk, and what are the risks? Where are you connecting with local senior groups? What resources do you offer to support them? What additional resources do you feel are needed in the field? What do you recommend for folks to support those who are struggling? What can communities do to support folks who are struggling? Tell us about your upcoming webinar in July?
