Their Stories, Their Voices
Problem gambling effects millions of people every day, from every walk of life. Sharing those stories can guide others to get the help they need.
Meet the Ambassadors
The Community Ambassador Collaborative provides a dedicated space for participants to build confidence in speaking publicly about problem gambling by learning how to share their stories with the media, community members and leaders, decision makers, and elected officials. These are their stories.
Ambassadors are available to share their story for interviews, podcasts, community outreach, peer support, and more.
Hear their stories and contact them below.
