Sustainable Care delivers online solution for treating gambling problems to French Arpej
We are both grateful and proud to announce our partnership with the French association Arpej and SOS Joueurs for the establishment of the first French online therapy for gamblers. This collaboration will provide SELF (French Online Care) treatment adapted to the characteristics of French-speaking players facing gambling problems.
Sustainable Care is the designers and creators behind the online treatment, which includes a secure platform for managing and administering clients and therapists, and an evidence-based treatment program with eight modules, each targeting a different aspect of gambling addiction and treatment.
Based on methods such as Motivational Interviewing (MI) and CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), the treatment combines information, questions, interactive exercises and a forum for peer support. The closed system allows for efficient client-therapist contact and is designed to let clients progress at their own pace.
–We’ve been working with online treatment for many years now and have seen firsthand the positive impact our model has on individuals participating in the treatment. This positive effect is further supported by the extensive research conducted on our treatment, says Johan Brandsten, CEO of Sustainable Interaction.
– This will be the first online therapeutic program for treating excessive gamblers in France. We’ve adapted the treatment program for the French market in collaboration with Armelle ACHOUR, Director of the remote resource center, Thierry Ventre, Doctor addictologist and Jean-Michel Costes, researcher attached to Concordia University in Montreal, says Emmanuel BENOIT, Managing Director of ARPEJ and SOS.
– When making these adaptations, we’ve been sensitive to the existing structure of the treatment program and the experiences that have already been gained. We would like to express our gratitude to Sustainable Interaction for their collaboration, Emmanuel concludes.
Johan Brandsten, CEO
