Diploma in Gambling Addiction Counselling
A gambling addiction can have disastrous consequences on an individual’s life and the lives of those who are close to them. It can lead to the break down of relationships, destruction of family life and spiraling debt. To enable their addiction the sufferer may turn to crime, increasing the chances of a criminal record and prison. Suicidal tendencies may also result.
However, compulsive gambling is both a diagnosable and treatable illness.
This course will show you how to help your client find the right support, overcome their addiction and make the necessary changes in their lives. You’ll learn counselling techniques and methods that help specifically with this problem.
On completion of your training you’ll have enhanced your effectiveness in your profession by learning the specific skills needed for helping gambling addicts.
