Free Training for Youth Professionals - Gambling Harms Awareness

Ara Recovery 4 All offer free, fully funded Gambling Harms Prevention workshops for young people (ages 11–25), professionals, and parents/carers. These sessions are flexible and can be tailored to meet the needs of your team. They can be delivered online or in person.

Right now, they're inviting inviting youth-facing professionals to book a session as part of their Ahead of the Game programme. This training is designed to build your confidence in supporting young people who may be at risk of gambling or gaming-related harms, or who are affected by someone else’s gambling.

With GamCare closing its youth programme, it’s more important than ever that youth services are equipped to respond to these issues. Their sessions aim to help bridge that gap.

The training includes:

• Spotting the signs of gambling and gaming-related harms

• Understanding the impact on young people, including those affected by someone else’s gambling

• Exploring the risks of loot boxes, in-game purchases, and gambling-like mechanics

• Practical tools and strategies to help young people make safer choices online

• Signposting and referral pathways for additional support
