Support young people in a digital age

Through engaging, evidence-based training, you’ll develop a deep understanding of the risks associated with gaming and gambling, confidence in spotting early warning signs, and practical strategies for supporting young people.

We’ll explore the evolving digital landscape together, ensuring you can identify risks and access support when needed.

  • I found I could relate it to a lot of issues my students have. This will help me to change my approach and hopefully help me support them.
