Oregon Problem Gambling Helpline
Free youth problem gambling awareness video featuring Oregon kids!
“You mean, gambling can be addictive?”
Here’s a great, free resource to help kids understand that gambling is not a risk free activity.
The video features kids from urban and rural Oregon talking about gambling—their thoughts and beliefs, what they have observed, advice they have to give, and more. The video is brief and humorous, using a “mythbusters” theme. It comes with a facilitator’s guide that includes discussion questions and key points to cover.
The information
Middle school students will learn:
- What is gambling?
- Gambling is not risk free
- How to recognize problem gambling
- How to get help
What it is: to educate young people about the risks and pitfalls that can occur.
What it’s NOT: to pass judgment on gambling being a “good” or “bad” activity.
The idea is to encourage kids to adopt “street-smart” awareness when faced with choices about gambling activities at school, on the Internet, at home, or with friends.
