Springfield DHHS hosts Wagers and Whispers Community Art Contest

The Gambling Awareness Research Initiative (GARI) is in the process of completing its community participatory research project co-led by Springfield young adults, researchers from the UMass School of Public Health and health Sciences and New North Citizens Council.

Your perspective—whether you have personal experience with gambling or simply care about the health of our community—is important. Every response strengthens our understanding and helps build a healthier, more informed, and more resilient Springfield.

By completing the anonymous survey, you will help to:

  • Ensure that community voices help shape local strategies and solutions.
  • Increase an understanding of community attitudes and experiences related to gambling.
  • Inform future education, prevention, and community engagement efforts.

Accessing the survey is easy. Simply:

• Scan the QR code on the attached flyer, or

• Visit the GARI website at: www.gariproject.org/contest-art-gallery

Thank you for taking the time to share your voice. Together, we can better understand the experiences of the Springfield community and develop informed, equitable approaches to reducing gambling-related harm.

With appreciation,
