Gambling Harm: Every Conversation Counts
Could You Spot the Signs?
Gambling-related harm is often described as a hidden issue. Many people struggling with gambling never seek support, and family members can be affected long before anyone realises there is a problem.
This free training has been designed by NECA, to help you recognise the signs, understand the impact and feel confident having supportive conversations that could change someone’s life.
Whether you’re a professional, volunteer, Health Champion, parent or simply interested in improving health and wellbeing within your community, this course will equip you with the knowledge to make every conversation count.
You’ll learn:
- How gambling-related harm affects people and families
- Why gambling impacts different people in different ways
- The relationship between gambling, mental health and wellbeing
- How gambling can affect men and women differently
- The experiences of affected others
- Practical techniques for brief interventions
- Where to signpost people for specialist support
