About us
Who we are
Right from the outset, Gambling Education Network has strived to challenge stigmas, stereotypes, and neglect of individuals who have suffered gambling-harm. Our lived experience focus exemplifies part of our effort to tackle stigma and stereotypes. We strive to highlight that individuals that gamble are not just ‘gamblers’ and that individuals who suffer from a gambling disorder are not ‘problem gamblers’.
The Gambling Education Network team is a dedicated one with a deep-rooted value of integrity. A vision of change drives the team. We recognise that even if we can help and prevent harm in one person, that can be life-changing or even life-saving for that individual and their loved ones. As a non-profit with such a vital social purpose and need, we prioritise altruistic virtues and ethics over personal benefit.
If you are reading this, it means that we are confident in your skills, abilities, and commitment to reducing and preventing gambling harm. You have joined a very special, dedicated, supportive, and motivated team which is already shaping up to be an emerging and powerful player in the research, education, and treatment (RET) gambling-harm space. Welcome!
Thank you for considering to join us on our journey.
With gratitude,
Kish
