Education Talks that Move People to Act
The Whistl founding team delivers high-impact gambling awareness sessions for secondary schools, corporations, and residential colleges. We pair lived experience with practical frameworks, so your community walks away confident and equipped to look out for each other.
Our sessions combine honest stories, data, and tangible safeguarding tips.

Secondary Schools
Early intervention for students in Years 9-12, covering sports betting culture, social pressures, and how to help a mate.
Corporations
Lunch-and-learn or leadership sessions focused on financial wellbeing, duty of care, and support pathways for employees.
