Mae mis Mawrth yn Fis Ymwybyddiaeth o Niwed Gamblo - amser i godi ymwybyddiaeth o niwed gamblo a'r cymorth sydd ar gael.

Gall niwed gamblo effeithio ar unrhyw un, waeth beth fo'u hoedran, rhyw, cefndir neu incwm. Nid yw'n ymwneud â faint rydych chi'n gamblo - mae'n ymwneud â'r effaith mae gamblo yn ei chael ar eich bywyd, eich perthnasoedd a'ch lles.

Rhai arwyddion y gallai gamblo fod yn dod yn bryder:

• Gwario mwy o a***n neu amser nag yr oeddech chi wedi'i fwriadu
• Peidio â bod yn gwbl agored gyda ffrindiau neu deulu am eich gamblo
• Mynd ar drywydd colledion neu fenthyca a***n i gamblo
• Teimlo'n bryderus, yn annifyr neu'n isel oherwydd gamblo

Mae Ara yn cynnig cefnogaeth gyfrinachol rhad ac am ddim i unrhyw un sy'n cael ei effeithio gan gamblo - boed hynny’n chi neu’n rhywun annwyl i chi. Rydym ni’n Ddarparwr Triniaeth Cenedlaethol ar gyfer Cymru a'r De-orllewin, ac rydym ni yma i helpu.

March is Gambling Harm Awareness Month - a time to raise awareness of gambling harm and the support available.

Gambling harm can affect anyone, regardless of age, gender, background or income. It's not about how much you gamble - it's about the impact gambling has on your life, your relationships and your wellbeing.

Some signs that gambling may be becoming a concern:

• Spending more money or time than you intended
• Not being fully open with friends or family about your gambling
• Chasing losses or borrowing money to gamble
• Feeling anxious, irritable or low because of gambling

Ara offers free, confidential support for anyone affected by gambling - whether it's you or someone you care about. We're a National Treatment Provider for Wales and the South West, and we're here to help.

Mae'n Wythnos Dathlu Niwroamrywiaeth - amser i gydnabod a dathlu gwahaniaethau niwrolegol.

Mae ymchwil yn dangos y gall pobl niwroamrywiol fod yn fwy agored i niwed gamblo. Gall y ffordd y mae rhai pobl yn meddwl neu’n ymateb olygu bod gamblo’n teimlo’n fwy deniadol iddynt, neu y gall niwed waethygu’n gyflymach.

Yn Ara, rydym ni wedi datblygu adnoddau hyfforddi arbenigol ar gyfer ymarferwyr sy'n gweithio gyda phobl niwroamrywiol sy’n cael eu heffeithio gan gamblo. Wedi'u creu mewn partneriaeth â GambleAware, ymchwil IFF a Phrifysgol Bryste, mae'r adnoddau hyn yn helpu gweithwyr proffesiynol i ddarparu cymorth mwy effeithiol, wedi'i deilwra.

👉 Os ydych chi'n therapydd, yn gwnselydd neu’n ymarferydd, cysylltwch â ni i gael mynediad i'n hadnoddau hyfforddi rhad ac am ddim: info@recovery4all.co.uk

It's Neurodiversity Celebration Week - a time to recognise and celebrate neurological differences.
Research shows that neurodivergent people can be more vulnerable to gambling harm. The way some people are wired can mean gambling feels more compelling, or that harms can escalate more quickly.

At Ara, we've developed specialist training resources for practitioners working with neurodivergent people affected by gambling. Created in partnership with GambleAware, IFF research and the University of Bristol, these resources help professionals provide more effective, tailored support.

Last week, our clients took to the water for a guided boat tour around Bristol Harbour — and what a day for it! ☀️🚤

From sailing past the SS Great Britain to gliding through the harbour tunnels, it was a brilliant afternoon of good company, fresh air, and making memories. This is what recovery looks like — and we couldn't be prouder of everyone who came along.

Whether you're on your own recovery journey or looking for support, we'd love to hear from you. Get in touch at info@recovery4all.co.uk to find out how to get involved in activities like this and everything else we offer. 💙

Ar Ddiwrnod Rhyngwladol y Menywod, rydym ni'n taflu goleuni ar fenywod a niwed gamblo.

Gall pobl ei gario ar eu pennau eu hunain am amser hir, ac nid yw bob amser yn hawdd gwybod ble i droi. I rai, gall gamblo ddod yn ffordd o ymdopi â theimladau anodd neu bwysau bywyd - ac mae'r cynnydd mewn gamblo ar-lein wedi ei gwneud hi'n haws nag erioed gamblo yn breifat.

Does dim rhaid i chi wynebu hyn ar eich pen eich hun. Mae Ara yn cynnig cefnogaeth gyfrinachol rhad ac am ddim i unrhyw un sy'n cael ei effeithio gan gamblo - heb farnu.

’rStigma

This International Women's Day, we're shining a light on women and gambling harm.

People can carry it alone for a long time, and it isn't always easy to know where to turn. For some, gambling can become a way of coping with difficult feelings or life pressures - and the rise of online gambling has made it easier than ever to gamble in private.

You don't have to face this alone. Ara offers free, confidential support for anyone affected by gambling - with no judgement.

Byddwch yn gadael gydag offer ymarferol i weld yr arwyddion rhybudd, gosod ffiniau iach, a chefnogi pobl ifanc i aros yn ddiogel ar-lein. Dim ond un awr ydy’r sesiwn — ac mae'n rhad ac am ddim.

Our Community Engagement Coaching Programme is going from strength to strength — and the feedback has been hugely positive!

This programme is designed to support people to find their motivation, build confidence, and tackle the barriers that can make everyday life feel overwhelming.

Together, we explore the impact of anxiety, low mood, and lack of routine — and develop real, practical strategies to move towards a more stable and meaningful life.

This Women's History Month, we want to talk about women and gambling.

Gambling harm among women is rising - but it can often look different. Women are increasingly turning to online gambling, often alone and in secret. It can sometimes feel harder for individuals to open up, and harder still to ask for support.

At Ara, we understand that gambling harm doesn't discriminate. Our services are free, confidential and tailored to your needs - whoever you are.

If gambling is affecting you or someone you love, you don't have to face it alone.
