Support for Family & Friends
Even if you don’t gamble, you might be impacted by another person’s gambling.
If someone you care about is experiencing issues with gambling it can be tough balancing wanting to help with wanting to preserve your own well-being. We have tools and resources developed specifically for people adversely affected by someone else’s gambling – including free counseling for both your mental and financial health. Let us help you explore the issues and find the resources you need to help you take care of you.
Take care of yourself
If someone’s gambling problem has left its mark on you, it is important for you to take care of yourself. Even if the person who has the problem is not yet ready or willing to get help, it may still be beneficial for you to talk to someone.
