Parents Learning Together

 

When your child is struggling with gambling, it's easy to feel overwhelmed, frightened, and completely alone. Most parents tell us the same thing:

"I just wish someone would tell me what to do."

We created this course because we were those parents.

Parents Learning Together is the first comprehensive online course created specifically for parents and families affected by youth and young adult gambling harm. Developed by parents who have lived this journey—and who now hold International Certified Gambling Counselor (ICGC) and International Gambling Recovery Specialist (IGRS) credentials—this course combines lived experience, professional expertise, and wisdom gained from thousands of conversations with families to provide the guidance we wish we'd had.

This isn't a collection of opinions or generic parenting advice. It's a practical, evidence-informed roadmap designed to help you better understand gambling disorder, communicate more effectively, set healthy boundaries, care for yourself, and create the conditions that make recovery more likely.

Your enrollment includes:

âś” Lifetime access to the complete course

âś” All future course updates at no additional cost

âś” 30 on-demand video lessons you can watch at your own pace

âś” Downloadable reflection guides and practical resources

âś” LIVE weekly course support session

 ✔ The ability to revisit lessons whenever your family reaches a new stage of the journey

Why Lifetime Access Matters

Recovery is rarely a straight line.

Your child may begin treatment, return home, experience setbacks, celebrate milestones, or simply reach a point where new questions arise. What feels relevant today may be different six months—or even three years—from now.

That's why your enrollment never expires.

Whether you're just discovering your child's gambling problem, supporting early recovery, or navigating life years later, this course will always be here when you need it.

An Investment That Lasts

Families affected by gambling often spend thousands—even tens of thousands— of dollars trying to find answers, repair financial damage, or access treatment.

For less than the cost of a single therapy session in many communities—or what can easily be lost in one evening of gambling—you'll gain a trusted resource you can return to again and again.

More importantly, you'll gain something that's difficult to put a price on:

Knowledge. Confidence. Hope.

From Parents Who Understand

Everything in this course was built from the lived experience of parents who have walked this road themselves, strengthened by specialized gambling-specific training and years of supporting families across the country.

We can't promise a quick fix—because no one honestly can.

What we can promise is that you'll finish this course with a deeper understanding of gambling disorder, practical tools you can begin using immediately, and the confidence that comes from knowing you're no longer facing this alone.

We're honored to walk alongside you.
