Gambling harm and alternative activities
Kia ora Ōtautahi. It's the final day (for our working week!) of gambling harm awareness week. I hope you have learnt more about gambling harm and about the free, easy, flexible and confidential services available to support the journey of those experiencing gambling harm to a better place. As it is Friday and I the weekend, I thought I would share some alternative activities and events
