WHAT IS RESET?
Reset is an app for people wanting to quit or cut back on their gambling.
Using cognitive behavioural therapy and motivational interviewing techniques, Reset is a self-directed, interactive program that allows people to reflect on why they gamble, set goals, manage urges and track their progress – anywhere, anytime.
Reset can be used in conjunction with therapeutic counselling to reinforce, or further explore, strategies and insights discussed during counselling sessions. Or for those not ready for counselling, it can be used as a standalone self-help tool – a discreet and convenient way for people to begin their journey towards recovery.
HOW IT WORKS
Reset comprises six modules, each with interactive activities, videos, insights and practical advice.
- Getting started
- Getting ready
- Taking control
- Taking action
- Managing urges
- Maintaining change
The Getting started module asks a series of questions to help people identify the severity of the gambling harm they are experiencing and establish a baseline from which to set achievable goals.
Reset provides insights into how much and how often a person gambles, and how this compares with others. They can follow the recommended series of activities in the My program section of the app or explore the modules of most interest or relevance to them.
Counsellors can recommend specific modules to clients based on topics covered in sessions or an assessment that they would benefit from exploring the content of those modules.
NOTE: Reset is not a clinical diagnostic tool. The Address book section of the app lists counselling and support services for people who want to speak to someone about their gambling.
