Promoting Awareness Around Online Gambling and Its Impact Toolkit

The Pennsylvania Departments of Drug and Alcohol Programs (DDAP) and Education (PDE) are announcing the availability of new, free online resources for Pennsylvania educators and families to learn what problem gambling is, how to recognize warning signs in children, and where to go for help.

The Promoting Awareness Around Online Gambling and Its Impact Toolkit is designed to be a one-stop-shop for educators and parents offering guidance on various aspects of problem gambling in youth, and insight into why it’s important to avoid gambling-related activities in classrooms, learn gambling terms students may be using, recognize signs of early problem gambling behaviors, and how parents can use parental controls to manage children’s games, apps, and gaming consoles.
