In this episode of Double Down Michigan, we’re joined by Marlene Warner, a nationally recognized leader in gambling harm reduction and CEO of The Massachusetts Council on Gaming and Health, along with guest host Jasmine Tompkins, Director of External Affairs at the MGCB. Marlene also serves as the executive director of the Michigan Association on Problem Gambling (MAPG), where she’s helping shape the organization’s strategic direction and deepen its impact statewide.

Marlene shares her vision for a more informed and proactive approach to responsible gambling in Michigan. Tune in as we explore how MAPG is working to reach underserved communities, strengthen partnerships, and advocate for policies that prioritize public health and equity, plus how you can get involved in the movement for safer play.
