The Mental Health Space – gambling and mental health - Breakthrough Mental Health Research Foundation

July 25, 2019

The Mental Health Space with Alan Hickey airs fortnightly on FIVEaa Adelaide.

This week on FIVEaa’s Mental Health Space we discussed gambling and mental health.

People gamble for a whole range of reasons. While gambling moderately is not a problem, gambling can become an addiction and can be harmful to our mental health.

On this show Alan Hickey talks about gambling and mental health with special guests Professor Michael Baigent, Department of Psychiatry, College of Medicine and Public Health, Flinders University, Luke McLean, Founder of I Am Worthmore and John Mannion, Executive Director, Breakthrough Mental Health Research Foundation.

This show originally aired on 23 July, 2019.

We’re thrilled to be leading this fortnightly show on Tuesday’s to share the latest from mental health researchers, clinicians and those with lived experiences.

Acknowledgement of Country

Breakthrough acknowledges the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the first inhabitants of this nation and the traditional custodians of the lands where we live, learn and work. We recognise all Australian communities who, through their lived experience, help to guide the research funded by Breakthrough.

Acknowledgement of Lived Experience

Breakthrough acknowledges those with lived experiences of mental illness. Every person’s story is uniquely theirs with their own challenges and triumphs, hopes and dreams; but together, we all share the same desire to live a life of connection, belonging and freedom. We are grateful to those who are willing to share their stories, and for the opportunities to listen.
