Hi everyone,
Welcome to the Forum’s new topic!
We have heard your feedback, so we will be regularly posting new topics to give you the chance to reflect on your journey so far. We will be including content around topics such as gambling harms research, news articles, reflections from GamCare staff, and more.
This week’s topic is “warning signs”.
It is common for people to look back on their journey and notice “warning signs” they missed along the way. This can lead to frustration or disappointment that the gambling harms were not fully acknowledged until a much later time when more harm was occurring.
As this is a place to share and learn from our own and others’ experiences, we invite you to have a think about how this may be a part of your own story.
So, what are your thoughts?
What are/were “warning signs” in your story?
Did you miss or dismiss these “warning signs”? Why do you think that was?
What advice would you give your younger self or others about this?
We would love to hear your reflections below!
All the best,
Lulu
