The self-help organisation Gam-Anon is a group for the spouse, family, or close friends of compulsive gamblers. The Gam-Anon group offers warmth, friendship, understanding and practical help to new members. There are no fees, voluntary contributions only. Gam-Anon's purposes are as follows:
- To learn acceptance and understanding of the gambling addiction.
- To use the programme and its problem-solving suggestions as aids in rebuilding lives and to give appropriate aid to the gambler.
- Upon recovery, to give assistance to others who suffer.
Contact the number above to obtain the telephone number of your nearest group. (Gam-Anon is a 'sister' organisation to Gamblers' Anonymous, for gamblers themselves.)
The authors and editors of this article are employed to create accurate and up to date content reflecting reliable research evidence, guidance and best clinical practice. They are free from any commercial conflicts of interest. Find out more about updating.
