A Closed Door- No Way In: Discussing gaming and gambling harm with your young people

Influence the Influencer Provided by Fast Forward

Are you a parent or caregiver? Worried about what your young person is doing on their devices might be impacting their employment opportunities? Worried your young person seems to have no money despite an income? Have you ever thought it might be gambling? Did you know there are gambling style mechanics within gaming?

 

This 1.5 hr webinar deisgned for parents and caregivers will discuss concerns regarding online behaviours while gaining an understanding about gambling-like features within video games and how these can possibly lead to gambling harms for young people experiencing vulnerabilities due to unemployment or a sudden influx of income.

 

We will also discuss ways to build on these areas as part of a conversation and where to find additional support.
