Partnering with the New York Council on Problem Gambling

Preventionfocus is partnering with the New York Council on Problem Gambling on the YOU(th) Decide outreach project. You(th) Decide NY is a youth project started by the NY Council on Problem Gambling to increase media literacy skills and dispel myths about gambling. For this project our primary target audience is youth ages 12-17, and their parents. YOU(th) Decide is designed to be a multi-dimensional prevention effort aimed at reducing underage gambling. By participating in the YOU(th) Decide Project, Preventionfocus, Inc. will educate youth, work with local community leaders to decrease the availability of gambling at family and youth-focused events and will conduct media and outreach campaigns.
