Gambling harm doesn’t just affect the person gambling. It can turn the lives of partners, families and loved ones upside down too. Tracy O’Shaughnessy knows that better than most.
As the Criminal Justice System and Affected Other Lead at GamLEARN, she now supports people affected by gambling-related harm, drawing on her own deeply personal experience. Tracy shares what happened when gambling, addiction and the criminal justice system came crashing into her family, and how those experiences ultimately led her towards helping others. An honest and moving conversation about resilience, impact, and turning lived experience into a force for good.
