Extern Problem Gambling advocates for individuals affected by problem gambling, amplifying concerns and lobbying for effective legislation across Ireland.
We offer personalised 1-to-1 counselling sessions, utilizing eight sessions of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy-focused counselling. This approach empowers individuals with tools to overcome gambling's adverse effects and regain control.
Extern Problem Gambling joined Extern in 2019, after being founded as Problem Gambling Ireland by Barry Grant in 2016. Based in Co Waterford, it operates principally in ROI, but also covers NI through its online-based services.
The project conducts funded workshops in secondary schools across key areas in the Republic of Ireland, aiming to equip young individuals with knowledge and resources for healthier gambling habits.
These proactive efforts aim to prevent problem gambling by promoting awareness and informed decision-making among youth.
