Dealing with addiction
On Monday 8th June Virtual Moulsford played host to Patrick Foster, an ex-professional cricketer and teacher who suffered from a gambling addiction which monopolised his career and life until recovery. Patrick spoke to the Year 8 boys and also ran a separate session with Moulsford parents in the evening. He presented a number of insightful and impactful facts and figures around gambling and online gaming, offering advice on how individuals can spot signs in themselves and others of when they may have lost control, and importantly where that help can be found.
Many thanks to Patrick, it was a great way to kick off the Year 8 Leavers’ Programme.
