We have created these beautiful calendars to bring awareness not only to gambling related harm, but also to encourage people to take care of your mental health like we do physical health. It would make a great office calendar, a calendar for students, and for those in your life that you want to start an important conversation with. Please let me know how many you would like and how i can get it to you.

We may not always understand exactly what someone is going through. But we can listen, take them seriously, and remind them they don’t have to handle it alone.

This Mental Illness Awareness Week, let’s make it a little easier to talk about the hard stuff and reach out when support is needed. 💛

That money comes at the direct expense of gamblers’ financial stability—paid for in bankruptcies, depleted savings, and household distress that offset the revenue itself.

The facts are clear-cut: the institution of predatory gambling has been a systemic failure by every metric.

Boston University Humanities Professor Joshua Pederson spoke out boldly against Kalshi's planned bets on clinical trial results and FDA decisions as his 12-year-old son endures grueling treatments for aggressive cancer.

Pederson highlights how forcing families to stress over strangers wagering against a child’s survival is profoundly cruel and demands an outright ban.

Waiting for the "right" time can keep us from taking the first step.

The truth is, there's no perfect day, month, or moment to begin. Progress starts whenever you're ready, even if it's small.

What's one thing you're ready to start today?
