Self-Help Groups

Gamblers Anonymous and Gam-Anon are international organizations that allow groups of individuals to discuss feelings and share experiences related to their own (Gamblers Anonymous) or someone else’s (Gam-Anon) gambling. They can provide:

• A safe environment to express feelings and work through problems
• Non-judgmental feedback, encouragement, and support from individuals facing similar issues
• A sense of belonging, friendship, and break from isolation
• A new way of looking at problems
• Information about other sources of help and recovery (e.g., counsellors, literature, etc.)
