Developing and Implementing a National Gambling Harms Prevention Programme for Wales

About this event

Gambling harms can affect individuals, families, communities and society as a whole, making prevention a shared responsibility that extends beyond treatment and support services. This webinar will examine why a population-level public health approach is essential, how evidence and lived experience will continue to inform programme development, and the importance of partnership working in creating sustainable change. Participants will gain insight into the key components of a national prevention programme and learn how a coordinated approach can help reduce harm, tackle inequalities and promote healthier environments.

Learning outcomes:

• Describe the scale, nature and distribution of gambling harms in Wales
• Understand the case for a national public health approach to gambling harms prevention
• Explain the key principles of a population-level gambling harms prevention programme
• Learn how evidence, lived experience, and partnership working have been embedded within programme design and will continue to shape implementation and future priorities.
• Recognise opportunities to integrate gambling harms prevention within existing public health systems and pathways.
• Identify practical actions to support implementation within own organisation or area of influence.
