Last week I had a really interesting and informative chat with the Tackling Gambling Stigma Team. They really powerfully demonstrated the importance of removing the stigma over gambling, as well as the ways in which their new initiative to map the stories of those who've suffered gambling harm can help.
What is incredibly clear is that stigma remains one of the biggest barriers to people being able, and felling comfortable, to access the help and support they need - it is vital that we all do what we can to overcome it as a society. The Tackling Gambling Stigma Team's work is a very strong resource for this.
