Gambling and Gaming Support Unit (GSU)
Working across Prince Edward Island to help prevent gambling-related harms, reduce stigma, and connect Islanders with the information and support they need.
Promoting Healthy, Informed Choices
The Gambling and Gaming Support Unit (GSU) is part of the Government of Prince Edward Island's Department of Health and Wellness. We believe that gambling and gaming should be approached in a healthy, informed way. Whether someone is looking for resources for themselves, a family member, a friend, or simply wants to learn more, we're here to help.
Please note: The Gambling and Gaming Support Unit is a non-clinical team. While we do not provide counselling or treatment services, we help Islanders understand their options and connect them with the right supports when they need them.
Education, Outreach & Partnerships Across PEI
Our team works across Prince Edward Island to raise awareness about gambling and gaming through education, community outreach, and partnerships. We regularly attend community events, health fairs, conferences, trade shows, schools, and workplaces to share information, answer questions, and connect with Islanders.
Collaborative Networks
We work closely with schools, healthcare providers, community organizations, government departments, and other partners to promote healthy play and increase awareness of the supports available on PEI.
Provincial Education Efforts
We provide educational presentations, professional development opportunities, and training sessions, working alongside the Public Schools Branch and La Commission scolaire de langue française to strengthen prevention and early intervention efforts.
Core Focus Areas
Our work includes:
- Promoting healthy gambling and gaming habits.
- Providing education and awareness for youth, adults, families, and professionals.

Support is Available When It's Needed
Whether we're visiting a classroom, attending a community event, giving a presentation, or meeting with local organizations, our goal is the same: to help Islanders make informed decisions and know that support is available when it's needed.
