ARE YOU GAMBLINGWITH YOUR FUTURE? Gaming can be fun, but it can also be risky. Although video games may seem harmless, the risks aren’t. Many video games imitate real-life gambling behaviors. Youth who gamble before age 12 are 4 times more likely to develop gambling problems later in life. It's important to recognize if gaming or gambling is starting to interfere with your life.

Attend a virtual one-hour workshop to learn more about how to keep gaming fun and to increase your knowledge about its connection to youth gambling.

Upcoming workshops in September:
• Wednesday, September 24th at 7pm
• Monday, September 29th at 11am
Sign up for a workshop today! bit.ly/4lHKLIV

Who Should Attend:
• Youth
• Parents/Caregivers
• Youth Serving Professionals
• Anyone interested in learning more!

Did you know that to***co use remains the leading cause of preventable disease and death worldwide? Va**ng, often marketed as a safer alternative, also comes with its own set of health risks, especially for our youth.

By promoting a smoke-free and v**e-free environment, we can protect our health and the health of future generations!
