Default Problem Gambling Resources for Asians in Philly or NYC?

Hi,

Does anyone know of gambling addiction counselors who deal specifically with Asians and problem gambling? I am helping my parents through some tough times with this issue, and have found the traditional Gamblers Anonymous approach harder for my parents to accept. But with so many Asian problem gamblers, I'm surprised that there are so few resources to help treat the issue.

Perhaps its the cultural resistance to admitting problems, I don't know, but would appreciate any advice on existing resources in the Philly or NYC area.

Thanks,

Tom

No idea really, but you're right there should be one out there.

try going to this site: http://www.naaap.org/
Maybe someone there can point you to a place.
