Following completion of the design phase, which culminated in the publication of a treatment pathway, the 2nd phase of the project has been kicked off. This will develop essential information, awareness-raising, training materials and outreach to enable improved access to care for gambling harms. A project manager at GMCA has been appointed to add resource to the project, and partners have been selected to develop an understanding of the stigma associated with gambling and seeking help.

The project now aims to deliver the materials and start piloting them in the first quarter of 2023.
