Webinars

Gambling harm and use frequently co-occur in treatment settings, yet their relationship is not simply linear or causal.

This Cracks in the Ice webinar explores how use may modify the expression and severity of gambling harm. Drawing on recent Australian service-based data, the session examines psychological mechanisms; particularly emotional and the implications for harm reduction and service integration. 

This 1-hour free webinar was held on Thursday 26^th March 2026. This webinar contains information that might be relevant for health workers, researchers, clinicians in AOD and gambling services, policy professionals, and community members interested in co-occurring harm.
