Course participants learn how to provide initial support to someone who may be experiencing gambling harm or a gambling-related mental health crisis, until professional help is received or the crisis resolves.
You will learn about:
the signs that may indicate a person is experiencing harm from their gambling
how to recognise and respond to suicidal thoughts and behaviours
the interventions and supports available to encourage pathways to professional help.
The cost of the workshop is fully subsidised by a grant from GambleAware, so there is no cost for participants.
The session is open to all community members.
