New partnership between EPIC Restart Foundation and the National Gambling Support Network (NGSN)

I've been reading about a new partnership between EPIC Restart Foundation and the National Gambling Support Network (NGSN), and I think it's a step in the right direction. With gambling harm support demand rising — 11,000 people sought help in the past year, a 12% increase—having more organizations involved in long-term recovery is crucial.
EPIC Restart brings something valuable to the table by focusing on post-treatment recovery, offering coaching, group sessions, and an online community led by people with lived experience. That kind of peer support can make a real difference in helping people rebuild their lives. They now join 13 other providers, including Reframe Coaching, to create a stronger, nationwide safety net.
GambleAware is also pushing for continued government support to keep networks like NGSN funded. Given the impact gambling addiction can have, ensuring long-term recovery options remain a priority seems essential.

I agree with you! The rise in demand for support is alarming. Having EPIC in the mix is a game changer. It’s all about that community vibe, right? People with lived experiences can really resonate with those struggling.

Yeah! I read about this too. I think the peer support aspect is what makes it relatable. It’s not just about numbers; it’s about real stories and real recovery. I hope they keep getting the funding they need!
