Did you know nearly half of young people aged 16–24 in Aotearoa have gambled in the past year? Many rangatahi are exposed to gambling-like features in online games, often without realising the risks.
Tūturu works with schools to promote critical thinking skills and support students to stay well. Last month, in collaboration with PGF Services, we launched new resources for educators to address gaming and gambling harm with young people.
The package includes:
• Classroom-ready curriculum resources
• Professional development, including an e-learning unit for school staff
• Tools to help schools include gaming and gambling in wellbeing planning
These free materials are designed for teachers, heads of departments, pastoral care staff, school leaders and school boards – anyone working at secondary schools with young people.
