About this event

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.

The training will provide information and advice about how to identify gambling harms, the services that are available, and how to make a referral (the referral process is the same for males and females).

Learning objectives for the session:

By the end of the session, you should be able to:

• Understand what problem gambling is
• Be able to identify risk factors that can lead to problem gambling and what impacts it can have on people
• Be able to identify warning signs and indicators of problem gambling
• Feel confident in asking questions about problem gambling and referring people for support

Who should attend

This course is open to professionals (both paid staff or volunteers) and the training is CPD accredited.
