thrivin' together cic

Who we are

thrivin’ together exists because, too often, women’s experiences of gambling are invisible, misunderstood, or ignored. We know the reality: gambling can be a coping mechanism, a trauma response, or a spiral of shame. We also know that recovery isn’t just about stopping - it’s about starting again. And for those impacted by someone else’s gambling, we understand how deeply enmeshed their reality can become with the gambler’s.
 

We offer a different kind of support: human, flexible, and woman-led. Support that adapts to the person, not the other way around. From one-to-one calls to peer support groups, from practical advice to community connection, we’re there - without judgment or agendas.
 

We’re not here to rescue or fix. We’re here to walk alongside. We believe that women’s lived experience doesn’t just shape our work; it should shape the system. That’s why we’re building a movement as well as a service - one that listens, lifts, and leads change.
