Any Free Therapy for Gamblers in Ontario, Canada?
Question by FilipinaxShorty: Any free therapy for gamblers in Ontario, Canada?
Hai guys~
My friend has this problem. His dad’s been gambling every money they have and my friend’s a Senior. He has given up hope that he can’t have a future because there won’t be any money left for college. His mom doesn’t want his dad to go to a nonfree therapy because his dad is the main money thrower. So I was wondering if there were any free therapy for gamblers in Ontario, Canada.
Thanks so much!

Yes — Gambler’s Anonymous
He has to agree to go for help though or it would be a waste of everyone’s time and energy.

Keep in mind that gamblig is one of the hardest pathology to be treated. The motivation for therapy has to come from the person having the problem. Otherwise, it has no positive impact.
