Gambling Support Birmingham
You have experience of delivering training products and working with young people, or in a youth setting. All you need is the perfect environment to put your skills to great use. Welcome to Aquarius as a Training Practitioner.
You will be working with problem gamblers and others affected by problem gambling to support them in reaching their recovery goals. Birmingham City had not won any of 6 League games before the win over Bristol City, but this has been a hard team to beat with a single loss in their last 5. They are unbeaten in 5 away games in the League since the defeat at Norwich City, and Birmingham City have picked up 9 points from a possible 15 in that run.
Aquarius work closely with individuals, families and friends to lessen the impact caused by alcohol, drugs and gambling, while GamCare is the leading provider of support for anyone affected by problem gambling in Great Britain. And, right now, we’re working in partnership and looking for a self-motivated individual with a genuine interest in working with young people and making positive change in a community to join us. Your challenge? To engage young people and youth-facing professionals in your region on the topic of problem gambling and harm prevention through the promotion, arrangement and delivery of GamCare’s young people’s workshops and staff training sessions.
A great opportunity to contribute to an enthusiastic local and national team of training facilitators working across the country, you’ll need a proven background in a training related role. You’ll also need experience of promoting services, championing training programmes and engaging specific audiences. The ability to take a non-judgmental approach to gambling, problem gambling and problem gamblers is essential too, as are excellent facilitation, public speaking and presentation skills. A proven self-starter, you have a flair for developing, assessing and evaluating different project options and the presence to act as ambassador for the programme across different settings and stakeholders. A youth work or training qualification and/or an understanding of problem gambling, while useful, are not essential.

Gambling Addiction Therapy Birmingham has successfully treated clients to remove their addiction to gambling, in the comfort of our therapy rooms in Edgbaston, Birmingham.
The definition of the word “gamble” is “take risky action in the hope of a desired result”.
Gambling is wishful thinking, expectation, hope and a lot of luck.
Addictive gamblers only remember their wins and will do anything to get back that feeling of euphoria just like a drug addict craves his fix.
The odds are always stacked against a gambler, the more they lose, the more panicky they feel and gamble more to re-coup their losses.
All common sense and rationale disappear as they become more and more obsessed, stakes become higher and higher as the desperation to win becomes overwhelming.
One MORE win and I’ll quit and walk away……
Adrenalin pumping, palms getting sweaty, heart rate faster, excitement growing….the gamble or bet is made, the addictive rush is as powerful as any illegal drug, expectation is sky high, yes, I’ve won, euphoria kicks in ! All the nice things I could buy, but hey, how about if I chance this lucky streak and double or triple my money, what could I buy then?
Just one MORE win and I’ll quit and walk away……
When you finally walk away from losing, stomach churning, the realisation that you could not stop, you have lost it all.
Gambling is in control of you, the feeling of powerlessness and guilt sinks deeper into your core of despair.
Sound familiar?
Gambling becomes an addiction, when you feel compelled to continue, irrespective of the odds and it is now no longer enjoyable.
As you gamble more than you can afford, the gambling “fix” becomes more than an obsession, it becomes a craving, a craving you cannot satisfy. Eventually the craving will cost you your home, your friends and family, your job…..everything.
No pills or potions are available to cure gambling – not even to help reduce the severity of the gambling craving.
We will, in treatment, help you to remove these cravings, to retrain your neuro pathways to think differently.
Utilising many integrative techniques we will enable your mind to learn new positive behaviours and make lasting changes.
