Breaking The Odds is a new community-based gambling harms support service, delivered by First Person Project CIC and funded through the NHS England Gambling Harms Programme.
We know that gambling harms often remain hidden and that many people don’t recognise they need support until their finances, relationships or mental health have been significantly affected. Others never seek help because they don’t identify with the term gambling addiction.
Breaking the Odds has been developed to change that.
Our approach is:
Person-centred
Every person’s story is different.
Trauma-informed
We understand that past experiences can influence present behaviour.
Community-based
Support is available in welcoming community settings rather than only clinical environments.
Recovery-focused
We work alongside you to build confidence, hope and a meaningful future.
Flexible
Support is shaped around your individual needs and goals.
Our multidisciplinary team combines experienced mental health clinicians, counsellors, coaches and support practitioners to deliver compassionate, evidence-based care within community settings.
