Three Sides of the Coin is a project run by Link Health and Community, funded by Victorian Responsible Gambling Foundation.

Three Sides of the Coin supports people who have suffered due to gambling. Through creative workshops, participants share their stories which are developed into performances. Participants may be gamblers themselves or loved ones who have suffered due to the gambling of someone close to them. These performances share the lived experience of gambling to raise awareness of gambling harm.

People who have been affected by gambling come together in supportive, fun, and exciting workshops. Through telling their stories, they start to gain self-confidence and a powerful feeling of trust and connection between them grows. Under the sensitive guidance of artistic director Catherine Simmonds, performance scenes are created through weaving people’s personal stories into a creative whole, that will touch all who see them.

This podcast includes RUIN to RECOVERY, a 10 minute radio play.
