If you've been staring at the ceiling wondering how to explain what's happening in your family to your kids, this one's for you.
We just published a new guide that walks you through how to talk to your children about a parent's gambling problem — whether they're 5 or 15. It includes real language you can use (and words to avoid), what to expect after the conversation, how to create space for follow-up questions, and when to seek additional help. Every suggestion is grounded in research and lived experience from the rooms.
You'll also find links to tools that can support the whole family through this — including Hope AI for when you need to talk it through before you're ready to sit down with your kids, the Am I Enabling? Assessment, and the Urge Surfing Tool. Because this conversation isn't a one-time event. It's the start of recovery for your whole family.
You don't have to do this alone. And neither do your kids.
