Gambling is often seen as a harmless pastime, but for some of us, it becomes a problem. Gamblers are not alone with their problem, but it also affects family members, relatives, friends, and colleagues.
The Webinar, jointly organized by FinFami (Finnish Central Association of Families of People with mental illness) and THL (Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare), is intended for mental health professionals, FinFami employees, volunteers, relatives, and anyone interested.
The event will be streamed and recorded.
Registration 10.5. by this Webropol link.
