GAMCARE - WAY FORWARD

Way Forward is an online support group for all women affected by another person's gambling.

Our Way Forward groups aim to provide a safe, supportive and confidential space for women to share their experiences, find comfort and empower one another.

Way Forward online sessions are semi-structured, running for 1.5 hours over six weeks. Groups are led by trained facilitators specialising in supporting women who are affected by gambling-related harms.

Sessions are hosted over Zoom and run throughout the year.

Each week will focus on the impact of different areas of gambling harm:

• Session 1 – Getting to know each other.
• Session 2 – Understanding gambling harm.
• Session 3 – Taking care of yourself.
• Session 4 – Dealing with guilt and shame / enabling behaviours.
• Session 5 – Dealing with anger and resentment.
• Session 6 – Having difficult conversations / expectations / acceptance.
