Filipino community leaders in sporting clubs tackle gambling harm prevention strategies

On October 20-21 Filipino sportsmen who are leading sports activities in Victoria will gather in YMCA Anglesea Camp to start a conversation about preventing the harm of gambling to individuals and families without inhibition or shame.
