Description

While many people gamble safely, a significant number of individuals, whānau and communities are negatively impacted by their own or someone else's gambling. This programme provides health promotion and problem gambling education workshops throughout the region to promote reduction of gambling-related harm. We can arrange self-exclusion orders from venues for individuals who believe they may be experiencing gambling-related difficulties.
