As a part of the Voices of Gambling Harm project lead by Mental Illness Education ACT (MIEACT) Markus shares his story of gambling harm and how reaching out for support started his road to recovery.
After being introduced to gambling at a young age, Markus hit a jackpot when he was 20 years old sending him down a harmful path. In this video he shares the harms he experienced and the strategies he uses today.
After being on his recovery journey for over 10 years, Markus works as our lead Peer Support Worker using his lived experience to support others. His personal experiences mean he can relate to the challenges of others and provide non-judgemental support.
