GamCare Training: Women and problem gambling

The subject of gambling and its associated harms is currently a hot topic and is acknowledged by health experts as a serious addiction with far reaching negative consequences. It negatively affects finances, mental health, and relationships, not just for the gambler but for the those around them.

The issue of women who are affected by gambling related harms is perceived as a hidden problem, and by raising awareness of the issue, we are confident that we can make it more identifiable for people who support women.

The training aims to raise awareness of the subject of women and problem gambling, and enables workers to confidently recognise, respond and refer women who are affected by gambling related harms into our support services.
