## Resource

Young adults aged 18 to 35 are flooding SA’s Responsible Gambling Foundation for help, with over 3,000 receiving treatment last year—many only after losing jobs, savings, and relationships. Students are among the most vulnerable, some even reporting suicidal thoughts. Recovery doesn’t always mean rehab; most get outpatient counseling, but severe cases get psychiatric support. Gambling addiction often coexists with other mental health issues, and stigma keeps people from seeking help until it’s too late. The foundation offers holistic recovery—financial rehab, relationship repair, employment support, and mental wellness—with online groups helping rebuild lives before crises hit.
