Online Information Session: Understanding and Recognizing Gambling Addiction

Affected individuals, relatives, and anyone interested are invited.

2025/09/12

Gambling addiction affects more people than many might think: In Hesse, around 340,000 people struggle with gambling, and nearly 100,000 are addicted to it. The consequences are often severe: financial difficulties, loss of family and employment, and mental health issues. Gambling addiction usually happens in secrecy, more hidden than other forms of addiction – and it also affects people in our immediate environment.

That’s why the Caritas Addiction Support Center Darmstadt invites you to a free online information session:

Tuesday, September 16, 2025, 3:30 – 4:30 p.m.

Thursday, December 11, 2025, 5:30 – 6:30 p.m.

The event is open to those affected, students, relatives, multipliers, and anyone interested.

It will include a short interactive presentation as well as time for questions and discussion.
