This session is being delivered by Gamcare, in collaboration with the Money Guiders Wales Network.

Gambling-related harm can be very hidden and the signs, such as debt, depression, and anxiety, may not immediately suggest that gambling is the cause. GamCare offer free training to increase your knowledge, skills, and confidence to discuss and support individuals experiencing gambling related harm. This will ensure that people get the right support at the right time. We can work together to raise awareness, address stigma, and reduce gambling related harms.
