Understanding Gambling Harm and Stigma

LoadingAdd to my saved searches

Gambling harms can affect anyone – yet stigma often stops people from seeking help. Let’s change that.

Gambling harm isn’t just financial. It can affect mental health, relationships and work – and it doesn’t just impact the person gambling. Stigma is one of the biggest barriers to people seeking help.

A third of people experiencing gambling harms have not looked for support due to feelings of shame or embarrassment, and nearly half of adults in the UK say that they lack the confidence to support someone facing gambling harm.

In construction, where pressure and isolation can be common, creating space for honest, non-judgemental conversations matters. By understanding gambling harms and challenging stigma, GambleAware can make it easier for people to get the support they need.
