  • "I did not know how to address gaming and gambling issues with families before this training. I now feel confident in starting conversations about the positives and negatives of gaming and know I can use Ygam materials to assess risk and harm if needed in the future."

  • "This course provided grounds for reflection, it is particularly useful as a manager to ensure staff have access to a variety of specific resources and support when issues arise involving addictions and the wider impact.โ€

  • โ€˜โ€™The session was wonderful, offered very useful insights on gaming and its close relationship to gambling. Itโ€™s information that anyone working with CYP should keep in mind, and it has given me different ways to approach the subject in clinical sessions.โ€™โ€™
