At Aquarius, we provide specialist gambling support for people in the criminal justice system and wider community, recognising the links between gambling harm, mental health, substance misuse, and offending. We offer training for criminal justice professionals to spot and respond to gambling issues. Our one to one interventions support people in custody, post release, and in the community, for anyone aged 18+, including those at risk, problem gamblers, and affected others. Support usually involves 6 to 12 tailored sessions, in person, by phone, or online. We work closely with police, probation, prison teams, and public health to improve referral pathways. Our group work in prisons and approved premises builds life skills, confidence, and relapse prevention. Support is available in Herefordshire, Shropshire, Staffordshire, Warwickshire, West Mercia, Worcestershire, and the West Midlands.
