Gambling can go from harmless fun to an unhealthy obsession with devastating consequences, straining relationships, interfering with work and leading to financial disaster.


Gambling Awareness Week from 18 to 24 October is an opportunity to talk about the harms associated with gambling and the effects they can have on communities, families, friends, workplaces and individuals.

Open community discussions are also encouraged to help to reduce stigma which can be a barrier for many to seek help.
