#WednesdaysWeekly - GamCare, Women and Gambling
This session provides an overview of the issue as well as information about the free training that GamCare provide to all staff and volunteers that work directly with women. This session will be particularly relevant to women’s’ services and projects; community centres; social prescribers and staff/volunteers from food banks and pantries.
Gambling-related harm can be very hidden and the signs, such as debt, depression and anxiety, may not immediately suggest that gambling is the cause.
Women make up over 80% of affected others who call the National Gambling Helpline, and 20% of gamblers. The number of women with a gambling problem is rising at twice the rate of men. However, we believe that fewer than 1% women affected by gambling-related harm reach out for support. Women tell us this is because of stigma, shame and fear of statutory services involvement.
