Shining the light on Gambling Harm - Online Education and Support

Kia ora e te whanau

During these past 6 months, our Southern Practice Leader (Karena) and Southern Public Health Promoter (Sarah), have been working on how to best use the COVID era development in the online space to share knowledge of gambling harm, and hopefully, share this knowledge with people who may not access it in other places. The result was ‘Shining the Light on Gambling Harm’, a weekly, 45 minute hui on gambling harm. Each week is different and follows the interest, background and situation of the attendees. You can pre-register, or just turn up on the day. You can ask questions, request topics, or mute yourself with no camera. You can be from any background – from working with people who may experience gambling harm, to students, to being interested in the issues that face our country, to someone who is concerned about their own or someone else’s gambling and wanting to know more. 

Please see the description below and share this email, and links with your networks. 

Online Education and Support
Wānanga ā ipurangi
Every Wednesday via Zoom

This mana enhancing space is for those interested in learning more about the silent epidemic affecting Aotearoa/New Zealand and will follow the attendees’ interests and questions to make the sessions as interactive and useful as possible. Education and support will be provided for anyone interested in reducing gambling harm either in their own lives, the lives of their loved ones and/or the community at large.

Open to anyone struggling with urges and cravings to gamble while also trying to manage the impact of COVID-19 lockdown; and those affected by or wanting to learn more about other people’s gambling harm.
