Breakeven support anyone affected by harmful gambling, including the individual gambling, family members and friends. The aim of the treatment is to provide an opportunity for the individuals to work towards increasing their wellbeing by becoming free of harmful gambling. For family members and anyone affected by harmful gambling we help you work towards a better understanding of the problem and offer strategies and interventions to support you.
Breakeven offer 1:1 support as well as regular group support which include WINGS (Women In Need of Gambling Support, remote), Green Shoots Recovery which is an 8 weeks aftercare group for those who have successfully stopped gambling and require extra supported learning, and the Growth Hub which is a teams support service following on from Green Shoots.
Once you contact us, we will work quickly by getting you assessed so we understand the extent of your addiction. Following the completion of a successful assessment you will be contacted by a counsellor usually within a few days. We work fast to get you the support you need without delay.
We will examine practical ways of dealing with triggers to gamble, develop strategies for avoiding temptation, we also look at options for managing your money to minimise opportunities to gamble, and we will explain the purpose and benefit of using Blocking software and how to access these tools.
