Increase your awareness of gambling harms, the impact on Affected Others, and learn about our new service, The Six to Ten Project

Research suggests that for each person suffering directly with gambling harms, there are between 6 and 10 loved ones negatively affected. 37% of harmful gamblers admitted to being perpetrators of intimate partner violence. These ‘Affected Others’ report as being isolated and shamed, with no services dedicated to supporting them.

The newly launched Six To Ten Project offers holistic support to those affected by someone else’s gambling. Six To Ten clients will have a dedicated support worker devoted to providing tangible support and community engagement brokerage. The dedicated project workers will offer support alongside client-led counselling currently provided to affected others by the National Gambling Treatment Service. Pilot hubs in the North West, South West and Wales will support this under-represented group.

Join us to learn more about gambling harms, the impacts on Affected Others and the work that the Six to Ten Project is doing to mitigate these harms.

This training is facilitated by Ara - Recovery For All, and will suit professionals or volunteers working in statutory or third sector services working in the South West of England or Wales
