FREE WEBINAR

Level Up: Syncing Youth and Technology to Power Down Underage Gambling
Speaker: Elizabeth Thielen

2:00 - 3:00 p.m. Eastern
July 10, 2025

Attendees will earn 1 continuing education hour.

About:
As betting options and funds become increasingly accessible
in the digital world, emerging adults and those who care about them can benefit from increased awareness of the potential for gambling-related harm. Leveraging the very technology used to access gambling products may make outreach and awareness efforts more effective. Engaging youth in creating and delivering awareness messaging has the potential to elevate the impact. The possibilities expand further if we sync those two together. This workshop will briefly emphasize the challenges posed by the
rapidly evolving way that gambling products are accessed and will highlight some grassroots efforts to level the playing field for those who might be adversely affected. Get ready for an interactive experience showcasing the use of social media, web-based educational/skill-building programs and virtual reality.
