|||||||
On this page you'll find youth-related tools & resources we shared during the NCPG first-annual prevention showcase.The purpose of Problem Gambling Awareness Week is to
increase
public awareness and educate community providers about problem gambling.
The effort began in keeping with the message of "Hope and Help"
available for problem gamblers and their loved ones. "Deal or No Dice" Youth PresentationDo kids you know watch the popular show? Lane County Problem Gambling Prevention has created an innovative educational version of the game to help introduce the topic of problem gambling and increase awareness. Instead of all luck, as the real game would demonstrate, students get to participate in a trivia version of the game – with of course some luck involved! Click here to download your free, customizable presentation (PowerPoint 2003 or later required; to save, right-click and "Save target as..."). By downloading and using the presentation, you agree to source Lane County Prevention Services. Please give us your feedback on the presentation & how to make it an even better tool!
Note: If you do not have PowerPoint, but would like to still use the presentation, you may download a free PowerPoint viewer here. Be sure to also download the instructions for how to use the game & to create your own prize "briefcases!"

Problem Gambling Art SearchSince 2003, Oregon has been holding a statewide poster "art search" to commemorate Problem Gambling Awareness Week. The poster search is open to all youth in grades 6-8 throughout the state. Prizes are given out regionally for participation, and statewide prizes are awarded for the top selected posters in Oregon. In 2008, a special "problem gambling awareness calendar" was created to display top artwork. 10,000 calendars were printed and disseminated throughout the state this year.
