We were founded in September of 2020 during the 2nd wave of the Covid-19 pandemic in response to an increased demand for mental health services for gamblers and gamers when in person access to resources was no longer a possibility.

We started the Research Institute in the United States specifically because we were aware of the treatment access gaps across the country, not just due to a lack of insurance provider options for those seeking mental health resources in the gambling and gaming communities to use, but also the lack of licensed, qualified counselors across the country that truly understand the nature of the problems gamblers and gamers face when approaching recovery.

We believe that telehealth is the future of treatment for these populations and are engaging with several major Universities across the country to explore how to deliver better care for individuals, family members, spouses, and couples that are experiencing emotional harms due to their relationship with gambling & gaming and are struggling with their mental health.
