PGF Services – Nationwide

Previously known as the Problem Gambling Foundation

We know the harmful effects of gambling, and we are here to help.

Our experienced practitioners and peer support staff are here to guide gamblers and others affected by gambling harm every step of the way. With their support, what might seem like small steps can turn into leaps and bounds. They will help you to develop the skills and tools you need to reach your goals, and the best part is, it's free.

We know that support is key so you're welcome to bring whānau or a support person to your appointment.

No matter where you are on your journey to recovery or how you are affected by gambling, we provide free counselling, advice, and support.

We offer an array of services with remote options by video call and phone:

· Counselling

o The first appointment is usually between 1 to 1 ½ hours. At this appointment you and your counsellor will talk confidentially and find out how you can best work together.

· Peer & Cultural Support

o We have friendly support workers as part of our team who are dedicated to making your journey as easy and as comfortable as possible.

· Public Health

o We have a dedicated health promotion team who work in the community to raise awareness of gambling harm. Professional referrals. Please use the form on our website https://www.pgf.nz/getting-started/referrals if you are a GP or professional and wish to refer a person to PGF Services.
