If you have self-harmed or had suicidal thoughts, it is really important to seek professional help as soon as possible. Call or text 988 to reach the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

What happens when you reach out
When you call, text or chat, you'll reach someone who understands gambling and can help you work out a next step.
Trained Specialists
Calls and messages are answered by people trained in gambling support. They listen, answer questions, and point you to free help nearby.
A real person
You'll talk with a person, not a recording. They'll ask a few questions about what's going on and suggest programs or services that fit.
Private and confidential
You don't have to give your name. Helplines keep what you share confidential, and the specialist can explain how if you ask.
