EGHPN

The European Gambling Harm Prevention Network

Let’s minimize gambling harms together.

The European Gambling Harm Prevention Network (EGHPN) was created for European NGOs working on preventing and reducing gambling-related harms at individual, communal and social levels.

We listen, learn, share, and advocate.

EGHPN envisions a world where people at risk from gambling harm get the best possible protection. A world where help is accessible for everyone in need. Networking gives NGOs the possibility to make an international impact on gambling policies and regulations.

EGHPN brings NGOs around Europe together to share knowledge, ideas, experiences and perspectives.

We envision a world where everybody is informed about the risks of gambling.

Collectively, these developments are poised to reshape Finland’s approach to managing the complex challenges of gambling harm. In this blog, I will present a summary of these advancements and how my PhD project seeks to contribute to a richer understanding of how these changes are impacting work in the field of gambling harm prevention and treatment.
