What happens when gambling stops being a game and starts taking control?

For many, gambling addiction can affect far more than finances. It can strain relationships, affect emotional wellbeing and leave individuals struggling to find a way forward. Open conversations can help break the silence, challenge stigma and show that recovery is possible.

We are honoured to welcome Amb. Stephen Giro, Recovered Gambling Addict & Founder Waziri Organisation, as a panellist. He will share his personal journey with gambling addiction and recovery, offering an honest perspective on how gambling addiction takes hold, the turning points that changed his life and the lessons he now shares to promote awareness, prevention and support, particularly among young people.

The session will be held both in person and online and is free and open to all.
