We’ve used our extensive experience and skills to create our own Adfam support services which you can access directly:
Gambling
Being close to someone who has a gambling problem can be distressing and overwhelming. You may experience lots of different feelings including hurt, anger, mistrust, sadness and fear for the future. You may also be affected financially. In partnership with the NHS Inclusion West Midlands Gambling Harms Clinic, through our Adfam@Home service, we provide free and confidential support and advice to the family members, loved ones and friends of someone who is gambling.
We offer 6 sessions of one-to-one support
These sessions allow you to explore how your loved one’s gambling is affecting you and to get support in making changes, if you wish. Our experienced worker listens to you. They may also introduce a range of topics which people affected by a loved one’s gambling have previously found helpful. Our worker will (metaphorically!) walk alongside you as you plan a way forward and may suggest further support or advice if appropriate. These sessions are offered via Zoom or by phone.
Apply below and we will be in touch to ensure that what we are offering is appropriate for you.
This service is available to family members living in the Midlands Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust (MPFT) areas: Staffordshire, Stoke-on-Trent, Shropshire and Telford & Wrekin.
Information and guidance for families affected by gambling harm is also available on the Midlands Gambling Clinic website.
