An update on GamCare's response to Covid-19 can be found here and there’s further information from GamCare below:
- National Gambling Helpline: this is operating 24/7 as usual. We are running additional chat rooms online and are encouraging use of chat and forums to reduce isolation. Whilst this hasn’t happened to date, we anticipate an escalation in calls as people spend more time at home. We are training additional staff from other areas of service to support the helpline if needed, and some of our partners are supporting this too, particularly in facilitating chat rooms
- Treatment Services: these are running as usual but have moved to video link and telephone support, which has been well received by our users. We have contacted all current clients and those who have completed treatment in the last 3 months to remind them of the support available, both from their worker and online. We have had no issues in moving people to home working and are confident that sessions are still offered in a confidential manner. We will start to promote our ‘Game Change’ computerised treatment programme, as it is well suited to the current times
