Illinois Churches in Action

As just 10 doctors fuel over half of UK cannabis prescriptions, cases like Oliver Robinson’s raise alarms, with a coroner stating a ma*****na prescription had “probably contributed to his death”—in Freedom Magazine.

When I entered recovery from gambling addiction, I made a vow: if I could get well, I would dedicate my future to helping prevent others from suffering a similar fate.

After years of treating individuals struggling with gambling addiction as a clinician, I realized something important: treatment alone is not enough.

We must also address prevention.

That realization led me to public policy and the work I do today: advocating for comprehensive public health regulation that addresses gambling-related harm before more individuals and families reach a point of crisis.

Prevention must be at the center of the conversation.
