Your Matter Too
We recognise that behind every person struggling with gambling there are partners, children, family members, friends and colleagues whose lives are also deeply affected.
Being an affected other can feel lonely. You may feel isolated, unseen, and worried about your children or family stability, finances, and home, while also fearing judgment.

Lived Experience at the Heart of Our Support
Lived Experience at the Heart of Our Support
“Through my own journey of living with someone with a gambling disorder who also committed crime, I felt lost. I struggled to find a service that would support me rather than just my partner.
I needed support focused on my choices, my boundaries, my emotions, and my well-being. Finding someone who had been through a similar experience, who listened without judgment and understood my journey of gambling harm and crime, was vital in my own recovery as an impacted other.”

That lived-experience support shapes how we work at GamLEARN.

The Journey
At the start of our CJS meetings, we invite everyone to check in by sharing a single word that describes how they’re feeling in that moment. We close the sessions the same way, asking for one word that reflects how they feel after our time together.
This simple practice creates a safe, supportive space to express emotions, and we are proud to say that most people leave feeling supported, hopeful, and uplifted, surrounded by others who understand and share similar experiences.
