12:25pm - Explore: Mental health and gambling-related harm, Georgina Charlton

The ALLIANCE Scotland Reducing Gambling Harm programme will present findings from their report ‘Explore: mental health and gambling harm’ which shares insights from their roundtable event on mental health and gambling harms in May 2023. This event brought together people with lived experience, those who work in addressing and reducing gambling harms and those who work across mental health to discuss challenges and propose solutions to take forward as a collaborative. It is hoped these solutions influence a range of actors across society to address the link between gambling harm and poor mental health. Key themes which will be explored include difficulties accessing treatment and support, the need for a collective voice, and the impact of stigma.
