Within the framework of the project aimed at supporting individuals struggling with gambling addiction, 100 people have already received assistance.translated

The first 100 individuals, who are dependent on gambling, received support within the implementation of the "Path of Assistance" project – a hotline for those struggling with gambling addiction – 8 (800) 505-83-57 – operated by the Center for Combating Problem Gambling with the support of the Synodal Department for Charity. To date, the volunteers from "Path of Assistance" have helped the first 100 individuals struggling with gambling addiction, as reported by the project.

"Every day, people who have encountered a gambling addiction, as well as their loved ones, call the hotline. Some want to understand how to start treatment and where to seek in-person assistance. Others ask how to talk to a family member about gambling and how to help them," the message states.

It is noted that with each application, a specially trained volunteer first contacts the individual: they listen to the person, help them understand the situation, and outline the next steps. In complex cases, a psychologist is involved in the work.

It should be recalled that earlier, the Center for Combating Problem Gambling, with the support of the Synodal Department for Charity, launched a hotline for those struggling with gambling addiction – 8 (800) 505-83-57 – and also launched a 24/7 online helper on the putpomoshchi.ru website.
