Preventing Gambling Harms in Diverse Communities

FOR COMMUNITY AND FAITH LEADERS

Our free 2-hour City & Guilds assured training is for community and faith leaders who work or volunteer with young people in marginalised communities. The programme content centres on an understanding of socio-cultural and religious contexts relating to gambling harm, and explores shame, stigma and barriers to seeking support, along with influences such as advertising and online gaming.  

On completion of the workshop, you will receive access to our complimentary and downloadable resources. You will also be provided with continued support to implement resources from our Training and Engagement Managers and have access to Ygam Alumni, featuring additional sessions on topics such as cryptocurrency, lived experience and more.
