About:
Gambling, mental illness, and substance use impact individuals in unique ways. In this webinar, we will explore real stories of people who have experienced these challenges firsthand. Each person began their journey for different reasons, faced different symptoms, and followed their own path to seek help. What they all share, however, is the powerful reality that recovery is possible. These individuals are living proof, demonstrating the strength and resilience that have carried them through their journey to healing. This webinar will explore how stigma can make it harder for individuals to seek support and share some practical ways we can address this issue.
We’ll also be joined by Joanna Stubbs, Regional Manager, South East PlaySmart Centres, who will introduce My PlayBreak, a voluntary self-exclusion tool to help individuals take a break from gambling.. In addition, the session will highlight community support services available for mental health and problem gambling—fostering an environment of understanding, support, and hope.
