Way Forward – support group for women affected by another person’s gambling

What to expect

Way Forward is a six-week programme of sessions for women aged over 18 affected by another person’s gambling. It is delivered over Zoom. There are weekly sessions lasting 1.5 hours covering different topics, including: taking care of yourself, guilt and shame, enabling behaviours, setting boundaries, dealing with anger and resentment, and having difficult conversations.

Groups are led by trained facilitators specialising in supporting women who are affected by gambling-related harms. The content has been shaped by women with lived experience.
