Prevention & Awareness
We believe that prevention begins with knowledge and open conversations. Our prevention and awareness initiatives aim to help individuals, families, and communities understand the risks of gambling and make informed, responsible choices.
Our activities include:
- Responsible gambling education and public awareness campaigns
- Community talks, workshops, and forums
- Digital and social awareness initiatives that promote healthy online behaviors
- Educational materials designed for families, youth, and community leaders
Through these efforts, we help create environments where gambling‑related risks are recognized early and addressed proactively.
Recovery & Support
Recovery is a personal journey that is strengthened through support, understanding, and access to the right resources. Bantay Pusta Foundation supports recovery‑focused efforts by helping individuals and families connect with available assistance.
Our recovery and support initiatives include:
- Referral to recovery meetings and peer support groups (such as GA Pilipinas)
- Family education and guidance to help loved ones provide informed support
- Peer‑support initiatives that encourage shared learning and accountability
- Donor‑supported access to recovery‑oriented tools, including endorsed app subscriptions
Our approach emphasizes dignity, compassion, and encouragement at every stage of the journey.
Digital Protection Initiatives
The rapid growth of online and mobile gambling has increased exposure to risk, especially in digital spaces. Our digital protection initiatives focus on promoting safer online environments and empowering users to set healthy boundaries.
Our work includes:
- Advocacy for safe and responsible digital environments
- Collaboration with technology partners and stakeholders
- Support for tools and initiatives that help limit gambling exposure
