Summary

This week, the girls sat down with GambleAware CEO Zoë Osmond, psychologist Dr Linda Papadopoulos and two women with lived experience of gambling harms, Jo and Lisa, to learn more about women and gambling. They spoke about the unique challenges women who experience gambling harms may face, and what could we all do to have better conversations about this topic.
