Sometimes, a little encouragement can go a long way. 💌

At one of Ascending Hope’s recovery support group sessions, participants wrote messages to others who may be going through similar struggles. Their words are simple, heartfelt reminders that you’re not alone, and it’s okay to ask for help. And that recovery is possible. .

Swipe through. There just might be a message you need to find today.

If you or someone you care about needs support, reach out to the NCPG helpline at 1800-6-668-668 or via webchat go.gov.sg/ncpg

The urge to gamble can hit at any time. Some days, you may feel ready to manage it. On others, it may catch you off guard.

Use the better days to put safeguards in place for the harder ones. Exclusions and visit limits can help limit access to gambling when the urge hits.

Visit go.gov.sg/ncpg for more resources and support, or reach out to our helpline at 1800-6-668-668 or via webchat.

Without the right boundaries, children may come across gambling-like mechanics in games, or make in-game purchases without fully understanding the risks.

Finding the right balance between supervision and independence can help your child develop healthier gaming habits.

A loss should not decide your next move. If it does, the gambling may be taking more control than you realise.

Recognise this pattern? Switch things up in your free time by trying a new sport with friends or picking up a new hobby together.

When someone you love is struggling with gambling, it can be hard to know how to help. You may want to clear their debts or fix the problem quickly, but it may not help them address their gambling problem in the long run.

If you are concerned, reach out to the NCPG helpline at 1800-6-668-668 or webchat www.ncpg.org.sg

Recovery has its good days and bad days. What matters is being there for your loved one through it all, not just the wins.

Listen without judgement, recognise their efforts, and be there when they need a little extra help getting back on track.

If you or your loved one needs professional support, reach out through the NCPG helpline 1800-6-668-668 or webchat at www.ncpg.org.sg.

Is casual gambling costing more than you thought? The cost may not just be financial. What starts as “just for fun” can slowly affect your sleep, relationships, peace of mind, or even your sense of control.

If any of this feels familiar, take the gambling problem self-help test at https://go.gov.sg/ncpgselftest to better understand your habits and seek support early.
