GamCare, a leading provider of support services for problem gamblers, recently announced that its youth program has reached a major milestone: 100,000 participants. This is a significant achievement for the organization, which has been working to reduce the harm caused by gambling for over two decades.

The youth program was launched in 2017 and provides free and confidential support to young people aged 18-25 who are affected by problem gambling. The program offers a range of services, including one-to-one counselling, group work, and online support. It also provides education and awareness-raising activities to help young people understand the risks associated with gambling and how to stay safe.

The program has been successful in reaching a wide range of young people, including those from disadvantaged backgrounds. It has also been successful in engaging with young people who are not traditionally reached by traditional gambling prevention services. This is due to the fact that the program is delivered in a variety of different ways, such as through schools, youth clubs, and online.

The success of the youth program is testament to the hard work of GamCare’s staff and volunteers. The organization has worked tirelessly to ensure that the program is accessible to all young people, regardless of their background or circumstances. This has been achieved through the use of innovative technology and creative approaches to engage with young people.

The milestone of 100,000 participants is a major achievement for GamCare and a testament to the hard work of its staff and volunteers. The organization will continue to work hard to ensure that its youth program reaches even more young people in the future. By doing so, it will help to reduce the harm caused by problem gambling and ensure that young people have access to the support they need.
