SIGNS OF PROBLEM GAMBLING

TAKE THE SELF-ASSEMSSMENT

You’re Not Alone — and There is Help

Problem gambling can affect anyone, at any age, and it’s more common than many people realize. In Indiana and across the country, thousands of individuals and families are impacted each year. It can affect mental health, relationships, work, and overall well-being. For many people, it builds gradually and can feel overwhelming before you even realize what’s happening.

The good news: help is available, recovery is possible, and support makes a real difference. Whether you’re concerned about your own gambling or worried about someone you care about, confidential help is available right now—without judgment.

If gambling is causing stress, secrecy, or financial strain—support can help you regain control.

RELAPSE PREVENTION

KEEPING THE URGE AT BAY


Recovery from gambling harm doesn’t always follow a straight line. Slips and setbacks can happen, and they don’t mean failure. They’re a signal that additional support may be helpful.

Relapse prevention focuses on building tools, awareness, and support systems that help you recognize triggers, manage urges, and stay grounded during stressful moments. With the right resources in place, many people strengthen their recovery over time and feel more confident navigating challenges as they arise.

Ongoing support—whether through counseling, peer connection, or financial guidance—can make recovery more stable and sustainable. Help is available at every stage of the journey.

FOR FAMILIES

HELP FOR AFFECTED OTHERS


Gambling harm doesn’t only affect the person who gambles—it can impact partners, family members, friends, and caregivers in deeply personal ways. Stress, confusion, financial strain, and emotional exhaustion are common, and many affected others feel isolated or unsure where to turn.

Support for loved ones focuses on helping you understand gambling harm, set healthy boundaries, and take care of your own well-being. You don’t have to carry this alone, and you don’t have to have all the answers to seek help.

Confidential resources are available to support you—because your health, stability, and peace of mind matter too.

SUPPORT FOR FAMILES
