Concerns related to gambling can present in a range of people presenting to services such as justice, relationship, housing, drug and alcohol, child protection and mental health. Because of this, professionals working in a range of settings other than the gambling specific context will encounter people with gambling related problems. Raising and addressing issues associated with gambling within non-specialist settings can be challenging. However, the opportunity to begin to address gambling-related harms, regardless of the setting, can be an important step in supporting people to change.
The aim of this one-day workshop is to increase the awareness and skills related to raising the issue of gambling within contexts other than gambling specific services. The workshop will provide opportunities for participants to gain information for supporting people and others affected by someone else’s gambling to reduce the impact of gambling.
Participants will each be provided with a resource book for reference during and following the training. There will be opportunities for participants to practice and reflect of skills throughout the one-day workshop.
