Gambling & Sports Betting:
What Parents Need to Know
Are you worried about how gambling and sports betting might be affecting your child? With the rise of online betting, mobile apps, and gambling-like features in video games, young people are being exposed earlier than ever before.
This webinar is designed to help parents understand what’s happening, what to watch for, and how to respond. We’ll cover how gambling shows up in teens’ lives, including sports betting and in-game purchases, the risks to their mental health and well-being, and the warning signs that may indicate a problem.
Most importantly, you’ll leave with practical tools to start conversations with your child, set healthy boundaries, and access resources if you’re concerned. Join us to feel more informed, confident, and prepared to support your child.
This 60-minute webinar is intended for parents and caregivers of students ages 12–18.
