PGAM 2024: ‘Every Story Matters’ in Minimising Gambling Harm

This year’s Problem Gambling Awareness Month theme, ‘Every Story Matters,’ aligns perfectly with EPIC’s approach of utilising lived experiences to mitigate gambling harm. Through education and consultancy services across North America and beyond, EPIC emphasises the importance of personal narratives from those who have faced gambling-related challenges.

Throughout March, EPIC will release media content highlighting the positive impact of sharing these stories. Starting with a mini-documentary featuring staff and partners, the focus will be on how lived experiences benefit both presenters and audiences. Additional video features will spotlight partnerships and unique stories from EPIC’s first decade of service.

EPIC and its partners will also participate in podcasts and webinars throughout the month, promoting these initiatives on social platforms like LinkedIn, YouTube, and Instagram.

Teresa Fiore, EPIC’s VP of partnerships in the US, emphasises the significance of learning from lived experiences in preventing harmful gambling, explaining:

“Problem Gambling Awareness Month underscores the efforts of organisations striving to prevent gambling harm. This year’s theme highlights the crucial mission of EPIC, where our team shares personal stories to empower individuals to make informed decisions about gambling.”
