Advice and Information
Gambling Support
Gambling has become an accepted social norm within our society. It is now easier than ever to access and we are exposed to gambling-related messaging on an unprecedented scale.
Because of this, the harms associated with gambling are being felt more acutely than ever. Many people are struggling and may need support. If you are finding things difficult, help is available.
You are not alone.
Alcohol and Drugs Support
Drug and alcohol use can have a profound impact on individuals, families, and communities. The effects of misuse are often complex, affecting both physical and mental wellbeing.
As a result, the harms associated with drugs and alcohol are being felt widely and deeply. For many people, this can feel overwhelming and isolating. If you are struggling, support is available.
You are not alone.
Affected others
You don’t have to struggle with alcohol, drugs, or gambling to be affected by the harm they can cause. The impact often extends beyond the individual, affecting friends, family members, and wider relationships.
If you or someone you know could benefit from recovery or support services related to alcohol, drugs, or gambling, you can get in touch with one of our practitioners to find out more or to access support.
Lived Experience
Having staff members who have experienced challenges around gambling, alcohol or drugs themselves brings a unique understanding to our services. It helps us connect with people on a deeper level, reduce stigma and create an environment where people feel understood, respected and safe to ask for support.
Most importantly, it demonstrates that recovery is possible.
