Wales has become the first UK country to offer nationwide access to an innovative online programme for people affected by gambling harms. The free NHS course – Space from Gambling Harms – can be accessed round-the-clock on any phone, tablet or computer without seeing a GP.
It is available now as part of a new, pan-Wales specialist treatment service, launched in April alongside a 24/7 helpline.
Space from Gambling Harms is based on cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and is the latest wellbeing programme on offer through the SilverCloud® platform.
Jodie Morgan, Clinical Operational Manager at Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board, which is managing the gambling service and helpline for NHS Wales, said: “Improving access to support is a key part of the All-Wales Gambling Treatment Service.
