Extremely proud to be delivering educational workshops that build awareness of gambling harm, support learning, and encourage open conversations among young people.
Early conversations & education lead to informed choices.

Feedback like this makes it all worthwhile! 🙏
Huge thanks to Coláiste Eoin for the lovely feedback on my TY Gambling Awareness Workshop, delivered through @ExternProbGam and funded by Bray Drug & Alcohol Task Force and HSE Social Inclusion.
Starting conversations! 👏
Feedback like this means a lot 🙏
Recently I delivered 4 Gambling Addiction & Awareness talks at the Balor Arts Centre, Ballybofey, with 14 schools and 1,000+ students attending.
Great to hear the conversations continued after the talks.

Humbled by the brilliant engagement & feedback. Huge thanks to Conor, Ms Garry & all at The Balor.
Starting conversations about gambling addiction.
Thanks to @kclr96fm & Brian Daly for having me on today to discuss the increasingly blurred lines between gambling and gaming, particularly gambling-like features in games played by young people. kclr96fm.com/thekclrdaily/ @ExternProbGam
Second time to see the brilliant 'The Song Cycle', and again, came away with a lot to ponder about climate change, ageing and mortality. As always @nickgestation was so generous with his time during the Q&A, and played a few excellent songs at the end @garterlane

Huge thank you to @TonyJOReilly visiting our school and for sharing his story about gambling addiction with our TY students. His honesty was greatly appreciated, and the session was both powerful and informative.

Really enjoyed speaking at the St John of God Research Conference back in November. The title of my presentation was 'Full Circle Moments'. 14 years previously I had an assessment at the hospital for my gambling addiction. #recovery @ResearchSjog

Tony has done so much to raise awareness of gambling addiction. It's been a privilege working with him on this story. 8 years after publication 'Tony 10' is an audiobook.

Delighted to see that the audiobook of 'Tony 10' by @TonyJOReilly & @declynchwriter is out. A lot of people have asked about an audio version over the years.
Easily one of the best books on gambling addiction and recovery out there.
