This training is designed to upskill staff within Scottish Colleges and Universities on how to identify and support students who may be experiencing harm from gambling related activities. It is open to anyone working within higher education in Scotland.
The session will be delivered by the Scottish Gambling Education Hub, a Fast Forward project.
Our mission is to ensure all children, young people and families across Scotland have access to gambling education and prevention resources.
Participants will:
- Gain knowledge of current issues surrounding gambling related to young people and students
- Gain an increased awareness and understanding of gambling harms
- Develop an understanding about gambling-like features within video games and how these can possibly lead to gambling harms
- Be more prepared to lead conversations and facilitate activities or discussion around gambling and gaming with young people and students
- Be able to identify and recognise the signs of gambling harms, and know how and where to signpost for additional support
Please note: this webinar will be hosted on Zoom.
