Join us for a 1-hour session where professionals will gain firsthand insight into the detrimental impact of gambling on individuals and their loved ones. Sam Starsmore, Ygam’s Programme Lead for Education, will share his personal journey, which began with gambling harm at the age of 16. This session offers a unique opportunity to hear Sam’s story and ask questions to deepen your understanding of this emotive issue. This session comes with a trigger warning with discussions around suicide, gambling products, and mental health. If you’re impacted by gambling or someone else’s gambling, please contact the National Gambling helpline on 0808 8020 133.
