Getting Help for Loved Ones
Help Yourself First
Remember, your health and wellbeing are just as important as your family member or friend who is struggling with problem gambling. You are not responsible for their actions. It can be extremely difficult to watch a loved one struggle with problem gambling, but ultimately, they are the ones who want to change. You can’t force them to change.
Encourage your loved one to get professional help.
Whether seeking help from a support group, a professional counselor, or both, encourage your loved one to seek professional services from problem gambling.
