Family Educational Group

Family support is incredibly important for any recovery journey. Having family support can greatly improve chances of recovery for someone struggling with gambling addiction, but it can be hard to support someone who has strained family relationships through their problem gambling. 

We understand the deep-rooted effects of gambling addiction that extend beyond the individual, touching every family member. Our Family Educational Group is crafted to not only offer support to families navigating the recovery process but also to involve them meaningfully, recognizing their crucial role in the healing journey. 

Our Family Educational Group meets every other Wednesday, and helps to bring families into the recovery journey so they can heal together. Family Educational Group focuses on:

• Educating family members about gambling addition and recovery
• Providing a safe, supportive environment for family members to share their experiences and emotions
• Repairing family relationships that have been strained by gambling addiction
• Providing tools and support for families to help navigate their own roles in the recovery journey

We hope you will leave these sessions with:

• Improved understanding of gambling addiction 
• A new vocabulary to improve communication about gambling addiction and recovery
• Tools and strategies to better support your loved one on their recovery journey
• A stronger, united front to face addiction's challenges together
