Objective supports Sheffield Mind gambling awareness campaign
Sheffield Mind is a mental Health Charity providing emotional and practical support to people in Sheffield with mental health issues.
The short film, which was shot on location in Sheffield, shares the experience of Kieren, whose love of slot machines and amusement arcades as a child developed into online gambling and a pattern of addiction that destroyed relationships, left him thousands of pounds in debt and eventually drove him to attempt suicide.
