Whether gambling is affecting your finances, your relationships, your mental health, or simply causing you concern, we’re here to help.
At First Person Project, we understand that gambling harms can affect anyone. You don’t have to be in debt, you don’t have to lose everything, and you don’t have to identify as having a gambling addiction to benefit from support.
Our service offers compassionate, confidential and non-judgemental support for anyone experiencing gambling-related harms, as well as family members and loved ones who have been affected by someone else’s gambling.
Recovery starts with a conversation.
Gambling is a normal activity for many people, but for some it can begin to cause harm.
These harms are not limited to money. They can affect every aspect of a person’s life, including:
Many people continue gambling because they are trying to cope with stress, trauma, loneliness or difficult emotions—not because they lack willpower.
There is support available, and recovery is possible.
You don’t need to answer “yes” to everything.
If any of these sound familiar, it may be worth talking to someone.
If you’re asking yourself these questions, you are not alone.
