The vast majority of people after treatment are thrown back into life after either living institutionally or undertaking treatment within the community. Despite some amazing therapeutic intervention work, real life can be vicious and more often than not devours those in recovery and spits them back out without a care in the world - entry back into treatment can be out of a lot of peoples grasp at this point due to financial implications, mindset or availability.

GameChange is an online treatment course for those who are concerned about their gambling behaviour, supported by regular contact with a GamCare therapist. The course has been designed so you can work at your own pace, wherever is most convenient for you, over the course of eight weeks.
The course is based on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), an effective treatment that has been shown to change negative thought patterns and improve how you feel. They aim to teach you useful and practical skills to apply in everyday life – long after you finish the course.
You can speak with our Advisers one-to-one over the phone or on live chat 24 hours a day, every day of the year.
We will listen to what is going on for you, and talk through options for support in your local area, online or over the phone.
