Chris Joyce from Knocknacarra, Galway today helped launch The Rutland Centre’s first fully funded Gambling & Gaming Specific Outpatient Programme. This initiative, supported by the HSE, aims to provide targeted support to anyone struggling with gambling addiction and to bridge the gap in services for those in need of specialised treatment.
The Rutland Centre’s new programme is a ten-week rolling group that combines process group work, psychoeducational seminars, and one-to-one counselling sessions. It is designed for people over the age of 18. The programme also includes a robust aftercare system to ensure ongoing support for participants.
Chris a former resident of the Rutland Centre, recently celebrated six years of recovery from gambling and alcohol addiction.
