Peer connection

Collage of four different people on their mobile chatting.

Sometimes speaking with a person who has ‘been there done that’ can be helpful for your own recovery, especially when it’s difficult to talk to others about it.

How can it help?

Peer Support volunteers can:

Listen without judgment or expectation
Share their own experiences of gambling harm and strategies for change
Offer encouragement and support
Help refer you to other services

How does it work?

No referral needed – just fill in the form below
Callers are matched with a volunteer with a similar personal experience of gambling harm
Calls take place weekly or fortnightly (day or evening shifts are available)
Calls can continue until the support is no longer needed

For Chinese languages including Mandarin and Cantonese: call Chinese Peer Connection on 1300 755 878 or email cpcintake@each.com.au.
