Introducing YGAM

Train the Trainer workshops
YGAM delivers accredited training and provides licenses to teachers, youth workers, community mental health colleagues, prison & probation colleagues and community volunteers, enabling them to deliver the YGAM gambling-related harm-prevention programme. This YGAM programme and its resources have been accredited by Ofqual provider, ASDAN and quality-assured by the PSHE Association.

Peer Education projects
YGAM works in partnership with universities to train year two & three psychology students to become accredited YGAM peer mentors. Trained peer mentors are then employed part-time to deliver a range of gambling-related harm prevention programmes and awareness campaigns within their universities and local communities.

Research
Through the delivery of the above two products, a programme of research into the attitudes, thinking and behaviours of young people and gambling / social gaming will be created to establish a global research network, specifically targeting teenagers and young adults. Additionally, YGAM will work with our research partners to undertake both qualitative and quantitative research into the effectiveness and impact of the YGAM products.
