HEALTH--NEW NOVA SCOTIA WEBSITE TO HELP PROBLEM GAMBLERS
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The Nova Scotia Department of Health launched a new website today
that provides information on services for problem gamblers.

The website, created through the department's Problem Gambling
Services, is another tool to help problem gamblers and their
families and to provide the public with relevant and up-to-date
information on problem gambling.

The site provides an easy link to the province's 24-hour
toll-free gambling line and information on programs and services
offered through the Department of Health such as counselling,
research projects, newsletters and grants.

The new site can be accessed through the Department of Health
homepage at https://novascotia.ca/heal
