Did you know ? not many women seek help for their gambling problems. Harms that women suffer are sometimes different from those of men but they are just as serious. Our research project aims to understand how support and treatment services can better reach and help women

My story, I’m not proud of things I’ve done in the past but I’m proud of who I am and what I do today!
