Monday 4 September marks the start of Gambling Harm Awareness Week (GHAW) and runs to Sunday 10 September 2023

This year Gambling Harm Awareness Week (GHAW) will focus on Communities Keeping Well. For the ongoing wellbeing and hauora of people it is important to talk together, know how to go about speaking up about gambling, and to be aware of free support services.

GHAW will be supported with a national digital marketing campaign from Safer Gambling Aotearoa. The purpose of the campaign is to help people understand how to have hard conversations about gambling harm, reach out for support, and to promote local services and free counselling available across the country.

The campaign will feature our Kōrero Cards. The cardscan be used as guide to talk about how gambling is affecting someone. They can be used by friends, whānau, or services that support people who are experiencing gambling harm.

New resources to support Minimising Gambling Harm providers and their local GHAW initiatives will be added to this page as they become available.

Here is a deck of social posts that you can use on your own social channels.

This deck of social posts is designed to extend the use of the Kōrero Cards. The aim being to help people understand how to go about having a hard conversation with someone who’s gambling is concerning them. Specific cards from the pack have been selected to put a spotlight on three key messages; making a pact and coming together as a community, normalising involvement/checking in, and that conversations don’t always have to be serious to be impactful. The Call-to-Action at the end of each post encourages people to download the full set of online Kōrero Cards available on SGA, see here.

Supplied is suite of eight social tiles in standard Facebook and Instagram sizes (1080 x 1080px). The format is flexible for you to pick and mix the cards. There are two options for Headline posts [Start a little chat and Find the best way] followed by a deck of six swipeable Kōrero Cards. The deck of cards will need to be set up as a ‘Carousel’ for the swipeable function to work. See the ‘How to Guide’ below for further instructions on setting this up.

There is blank space on the headline cards for you to create your own post text. The copy text is supplied for the deck of six cards though you may wish to change the text to suit your organisation and your audience.

InDesign files are available on request. Email info@safergambling.org.nz
