Virtual: Understanding Gaming and Gambling Harms – Health and Social Care Focus.

Tuesday 17th September – 9.30am – 12.30pm

(City & Guilds Accredited Certification)

Could you talk to a young person if you were worried about their gaming?

Do you know what might influence a young person to gamble?

Ygam are working with Voluntary Action Camden to offer a fully funded workshop designed for GPs, nurses, psychologists, counsellors, mental health and safeguarding practitioners, social prescribers, and anyone working with young people in a healthcare setting.

Join us to develop your understanding of gaming and gambling harms, enabling you to have conversations with the children and families you work with.

The workshop will cover:

• Why children and young people might game and/or gamble.
• The blurred lines between gaming and gambling.
• The potential risks of gaming and gambling and the associated harms.
• How to spot the signs of harm and what support and signposting options are available.

On completion you will receive a City & Guilds Certificate and Digital Credential, and have access to over 1000 resources, including 1:1 and small group work activities which you can download and use in your practice.
