0 Comments

 
We are currently seeking participants for a gambling addiction support group, which will be delivered as an online service.  The group will be run on a pilot basis in order to assess the demand for this type of service, as well as its effectiveness.  We will initially be looking for 7 participants who feel that their gambling is at a problematic level.  The group will be facilitated by me (Barry Grant).  I am a qualified addiction counsellor (B.A. Degree in Counselling Skills & Addiction Studies) and a fully accredited member of the Association of Professional Counsellors & Psychotherapists in Ireland (APCP).  I am also a qualified SMART Recovery group facilitator.

Participants will need access to a computer, or internet-enabled device (smartphone/tablet) and an internet connection.  We plan to run the group on Friday evenings.  The meetings will be hosted on this site:  https://appear.in/pgimeeting  The meeting room is currently 'locked' and will only be open 5 minutes prior to agreed meeting times.  The online meeting can be accessed through a web-browser (Chrome or Firefox) or by using the appear.in app, which is available for from the Apple App Store  (iPhone/iPad) and from the Google Play Store (Android).   Participants can join the meeting anonymously and have the option of communicating via voice, voice & video and/or web-chat.  

If you are interested in joining this meeting, please fill out our contact form.  This can be done anonymously, however we will need an email address or mobile phone number which we can contact you at in order to let you know when the meetings will begin.  We will only ever use your contact details in order to let you know about the first meeting.  

Participants will need to be aged 18, or over, and be resident in the Republic of Ireland.  This service will be provided free of charge.  The meetings will be 90 minutes in duration.  The meetings will be operated on a CBT model (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy).    

If you have any questions, please fill out the contact form or email: info [at] problemgambling.ie
