Gambling – let's talk about it!

Logo with the text "ReSPIN - Gambling Awareness Speaker's Bureau" and an illustrated graphic shape. ReSPIN Gambling Awareness Speakers Bureau recruits, trains and supports speakers to talk to community groups and organisations about the effects of gambling harm on individuals, families, friends, employers and colleagues.

All speakers have personally experienced gambling harm and use their stories and expertise to encourage understanding and help-seeking. The stories also represent the hope and resilience that is part of the gambling journey.

If you are interested in becoming a ReSPIN speaker or would like to book a speaker, please contact ReSPIN coordinator Kate Sommerville on (03) 9450 2633 or kate.sommerville@bchs.org.au

The next training round for speakers is planned for early May 2016.
