In this episode we welcome Colby and Amanda, who are young adults from New York State. They join us to discuss the effects of emerging trends in gambling on youth and young adults. Questions that are discussed include:

• What is your current understanding of gambling harm and problem gambling?
• What are some of the common ways that youth and young adults are engaging in gambling these days?
• How have you seen gambling affect your peers, specifically, if at all?
• What support do you think would be helpful for youth families if they’re impacted by gambling harm?

If you find yourself struggling with gambling harm, or if you suspect someone you know is facing such challenges, don’t hesitate to seek help. For 24/7 support, call the NYS OASAS HOPEline at 1-877-846-7369 or text 467369.
