6️⃣ sessions with student-athletes and staff over 2️⃣ days This week presented a busy schedule in Chicago for Patrick Chester and Stevin 'Hedake' Smith, but it was well worth it as they were able to engage across the DePaul University Athletics roster and make them all aware of possible gambling harm they could face - whether or not they've ever contemplated wagering for themselves. With this week's heightened attention on the online abuse that many student-athletes are facing, it's vital that we continue to engage with as many of the aspiring stars from the NCAA as we can, to make them aware of the potential challenges of competing in the public eye, backed by the lived experience testimonials of the likes of Patrick and Hedake who have been through relatable experiences. They were joined in Chicago by another new member of our team, Jake Sanford. #gambling #problemgambling #gamblingharm #harmprevention #NCAA

"Something has happened in the last couple years, where asking for reimbursement has become more prevalent. In their mind, they're owed something." EPIC's Patrick Chester speaks to ESPN, sharing what we've been hearing on the ground during our #NCAA education sessions, with student-athletes being pursued online for repayment of losses from those whose bets haven't come in. The emerging story underlines why raising awareness of gambling-related harm - as we've already done for more than 72,000 across the NCAA divisions - is just as important for those who never consider wagering as it is for those who may be tempted.

The sets at the Coronation Street Experience provide a glimpse of some of the UK's most iconic workplaces - an appropriate setting for us to present at the Wellbeing at Work World Summit UK. We engaged with leading employers at the event to understand if gambling harm prevention is part of their wellbeing offering to staff, and if not, why not? The interest in our sessions shows that it's a growing priority for the UK's employers and we look forward to working further with the event's attendees to help them mitigate the risks that gambling could pose to their workforce. #gambling #problemgambling #gamblingharm #harmprevention #wellbeing #wellbeingatwork
