Contact UsAquarius helped my family
"Aquarius helped my family understand what I was going through mentally and physically. If you need help, you should always consider it as an option, as it really helps you to understand what you are actually doing to yourself and also helps your family understand."

They saved my life
"They saved my life, I wouldn’t be 2 years clean if it wasn’t for them, I’ve never really had a family but Aqaurius have all become my family."

Helped me see the correct path
"Aquarius has helped me see the correct path to the end goal of quitting. I would recommend the services as the system is far from conservative, the advice is tailored exactly to how you'd personally quit. They build onwards from this."

Very good clear presentation.
"There was a good variety of attendees from different backgrounds. The information on dependency & how brain is affected in teenage years was especially good. Very good clear presentation."

Knowledge shined through
"The trainers knowledge shined through and they effortlessly answered questions, speaking from their professional experience, discussing historic precedents but also new research."

Our support
We provide free, confidential, and non-judgemental support for young people aged 10-25 affected by their own or somebody else’s gambling.
We can work with young people directly, their families and the wider communities and professionals to reduce gambling harms experienced by young people through a range of support options:
- Awareness Workshops– Interactive sessions for young people , parents & carers
- Professional Training– Gambling awareness training for your organisation.
- Specialist Treatment– One to one tailored support. Face to face, remote or telephone.
- Outreach Activities– Drop in sessions, community presence, events and brief intervention.
- Early Intervention– Primary intervention, advise and information
Our support is there to guide you, help you make informed decisions and have a better understanding of gambling related harms.
Our aim is to increase understanding, provide practical support, and help people access the right help at the right time, empowering them to make positive changes and improve their health, wellbeing, and quality of life.
Our approach is personalised. We will work with you to tailor your support to best meet your needs. We can look at triggers and warning signs, the psychology behind gambling behaviour and tools to help you reduce the gambling harms you may be experiencing.
Our sessions will explore
How gambling works and why it’s designed to keep you playing
What gambling harm can look like in young people
Links between gambling and other behaviours
Strategies to reduce risk and protect wellbeing
Why it matters
The earlier we talk about gambling, the easier it is to reduce harm. Our work empowers young people to make informed decisions and equips them to spot issues before they escalate. It’s about building resilience, not fear, and creating space where people can ask questions and find support.
