SPECIAL: Wah Say's story – the impact of gambling addiction (Karen)

Gambling can become an issue for some people.

Raising awareness about the dangers of gambling, how this can impact on families and most importantly where to turn for aid is so important.

This video tells a true story about a young Karen person becoming addicted to gambling but due to privacy we have changed his name and used a narrator.

This is part of a great partnership with the Victorian Responsible Gambling Foundation which has allowed us to create a special series of gambling information in Karen language to aid raise awareness within refugee communities.

The series covers the different types of gambling, how gambling can become addictive, how this will impact on family and friends, when to realise you have a gambling job and where to turn for aid.

The campaign features an information booklet and videos translated in Karen language. See them all in this blog post:
