Our peer groups are structured around the GRA5P five stage programme.

The GRA5P programme delivers a strong support network so that group members can start to understand the
devastating impact that a gambling disorder can have. It also offers guidance on how individuals, families and
friends can help themselves, as well as practical suggestions for coping day-by-day and moving towards a more
positive future.All facilitators have lived experience of gambling harms and have attended our in-house training, safeguarding training and the Suffolk Mind’s ‘Ther Essentials’ mental health and wellbeing training.

GamFam are delighted to be able to offer our free Information & Awareness sessions via Zoom every Monday at 1pm. Each session will be delivered by members of the GamFam team, all of whom have lived experience, directly or indirectly, of gambling related harms.
