Who is this for?
SAL Consulting’s Understanding Problem Gambling course is designed for support workers, clinicians, behaviour support practitioners, counsellors, case managers, and frontline professionals working across the disability, family support, community, health, and human services sectors.
The course is particularly valuable for practitioners supporting people who may be vulnerable to, or currently experiencing, gambling-related harm.
SAL Consulting is the industry aligned training expert.
Why this course?
Problem gambling is often more than a financial issue, it can be closely linked to trauma, relationships, mental health, and neurodevelopment. Understanding these underlying factors helps practitioners provide more effective, compassionate support.
How does it work?
This interactive online course explores gambling through SAL Consulting’s Neurodevelopment, Attachment and Trauma-Informed (NATI) Framework, helping participants move beyond simply recognising gambling behaviours to understanding the factors that contribute to them.
Delivered by experienced clinicians, the course combines current research with practical strategies that can be applied across a range of practice settings.
Topics include:
Understanding gambling and gambling-related harm
The neurobiology of gambling and addiction
The relationship between gambling and trauma
How attachment experiences influence gambling behaviours
Trauma-informed approaches to responding to and supporting people experiencing gambling problems
Participants will gain practical insights into recognising risk factors, engaging individuals in supportive conversations, and responding in ways that promote safety, dignity, and long-term wellbeing.
By understanding the experiences that often sit behind gambling behaviours, practitioners can better support individuals towards healthier choices, stronger relationships, and improved wellbeing.
