The Emerging Communities Responsible Gambling Program (ECRGP), under development by the RMCN communities is a project funded by the Victorian Responsible Gambling Foundation and is designed to develop sustainable, community-driven, culturally and linguistically appropriate programs.
ECRGP aims to extend gambling prevention and awareness initiatives to support all adult members of eight African and Burmese background emerging communities across the Melbourne metropolitan area. We aim to encourage an awareness and acknowledgement of the enticements of the various forms of gambling and encourage the adoption of prevention and and support strategies within a responsible, non-threatening, non-stigmatising way that aligns culturally with each community's approach to providing education and support. MRCN would like to express its appreciation to the Victorian Responsible Gambling Foundation who made the funds and professional support available to address these problems in our communities in respectful, culturally responsive and empowering ways.
