The Gambling Clinic is available to speak to the public and press upon request. If you would like us to speak at your next event, don’t hesitate to contact us at 901-678-3531 or tgc@memphis.edu. We are happy to provide information about gambling, gambling problems, and our services to individuals outside Tennessee. However, due to state law, we can only offer appointments and formal services to individuals who can travel over Tennessee state lines for their in-person or telehealth appointments.
