Understanding addictions that involve actions, not substances.
Understanding behavioural addictions
Behavioural addictions are compulsive patterns of activity, from gambling to gaming to shopping, that hijack the brain's reward system much like substances do. If a behaviour feels out of your control and is causing harm, support can help.

- Loss of control over the behaviour
- Continuing despite clear harm
- Cravings and preoccupation
- Neglecting other areas of life
- Failed attempts to cut back

You don't have to carry this alone
Whatever you're facing, a confidential, compassionate conversation is one call away. There's no judgement here, only support.
