Way Forward is our support group for all women who are affected by the adverse effects of other people’s gambling.
Our Way Forward group aims to provide a safe, supportive, and secret space for women to share experiences, find comfort, and empower each other.
The Way Forward online session is semi-structured, lasting for 2 hours for seven weeks. This group is led by a trained facilitator who specializes in supporting women who are affected by the adverse effects of gambling.
Every week will focus on the impact of various fields of gambling dangers:
- Session 1 – Get to know each other.
- Session 2 – Understand the dangers of gambling.
- Session 3 – Take care of yourself.
- Session 4 – Overcoming guilt and shame / behavior that is possible.
- Session 5 – Overcoming anger and hatred.
- Session 6 – Experiencing conversation/hope/difficult acceptance.
- Session 7 – Complete.
Input from previous Way Forward members:
“At the beginning of the session, my mental health was not good. I was really overwhelmed and consumed by everything that happened with my husband’s gambling. I now feel much better, I don’t feel alone anymore. “
“I feel like we have our own family who are also affected. It’s fun to talk and listen with a group of people who really understand. “
