In this episode, we’re joined by Professor Michael Baigent for an in-depth conversation about gambling addiction in Australia. Michael highlights the complex role gambling plays in the economy while also exposing the profound harm it causes individuals and communities. He explores the emotional, financial, and even physical toll on those seeking help, and discusses evidence-based treatments, particularly the effectiveness of cognitive-behavioral therapy in addressing gambling disorders. We’re also joined by Kate Martin from the Southern Yorke Peninsula Community Hub, who shares the vital work her team is doing to support the local community. From digital literacy classes to community resilience programs and legal aid, Kate provides insight into the real-world solutions being implemented to tackle the unique challenges facing regional Australians.
