Gambling

Gambling related harms can affect anyone and can affect people in different ways. 

Poor mental health and wellbeing, relationship breakdown, problems at work or school and financial difficulties. All of these things can be experienced directly by the person who gambles or indirectly by the family, friends, and colleagues of someone who gambles.
