Gambling Related Harm in Scotland - A Women Specific Focus (CPD)
Created: 22/09/2021GamCare is the leading national provider of free information, advice and support for anyone affected by problem gambling.
The subject of gambling and its associated harms is currently a hot topic and is acknowledged by experts as a serious health issue, with far reaching consequences. It negatively affects finances, mental health and relationships, not just for the gambler but for the those around them.
