0 likes422 views
This document discusses integrating problem gambling prevention into existing youth programming. It argues that problem gambling is connected to other risky behaviors like delinquency, substance abuse, and depression. Successful integration strategies include collaborating with substance abuse prevention partners, engaging community coalitions, and incorporating gambling awareness into parenting programs, school curriculums that address impulsivity, and suicide prevention training. The author provides contact information for organizations focused on problem gambling prevention and encourages connecting to learn more about evidence-based integration approaches.
