Rolling the Dice on Our Future: Preventing Youth Problem Gambling
Monday, August 25, 2025
8:00 AM–9:00 AM CST
1 CEU | Registration fee: $25
Gambling addiction rates have skyrocketed since the Supreme Court struck down the federal ban on sports betting in 2018. While gambling is traditionally seen as an adult activity, younger audiences are now engrossed by easy to access digital gambling and gambling related games. Youth gambling is more than a distraction- it is a serious health risk with financial, emotional, legal, and relational consequences. In attending this presentation, attendees will not only learn of the various ways that gambling can harm young people and their friends and families, but will acquire practical strategies for educating youth on the topic and safeguarding them from gambling harm.
