We all know gambling problems affect people's lives in many different ways, from emotional stress to financial ruin. The stories and reported impacts are sobering, and surface all too often in research and the media.
Very often people with a gambling problem feel a strong sense of personal shame, and may try to mask this in an attempt to keep the problem a secret. They may not even know they're doing it. But covering or avoiding the problem can contribute to the erosion of interpersonal relationships, work life and financial status. And if they fail to get help, a much more rapid decline can follow.
If you have a gambling problem, you don't have to keep it a secret. With a range of free options including 24-hour phone support, face to face counselling and barring yourself from venues, we'll help you face a brighter future without gambling.
From 1 January 2011, Break even Services have been renamed Gamblers Help.
