The Delaware Council on Gambling Problems is expanding with the opening of a third office in Kent County.

The Council now has locations in all three Delaware counties, providing greater access to services and support at a time when problem gambling is on the rise in the U.S. due to the growth of legal online sports betting.

Delaware Public Media’s Kyle McKinnon caught up this week with one of the Council’s Certified Peer Recovery Specialists Jeff Wasserman about the new office and addressing gambling issues in the First State.
