Gambling Prevention for Adolescents

August 20, 2018 by Meaghan

 

Mental Health Mondays: AWARENESS | ADOLESCENT GAMBLING | PREVENTION | NATIONAL COUNCIL PROBLEM GAMBLING | FCCG | This press release from the Florida Council on Compulsive Gambling highlights a national problem. McDonalds™ Happy Meals™ are currently including a Super Mario ™ from Nintendo ™ featuring a slot machine. This is potentially harmful to their audience of young people. This normalizes gambling. Adolescent gambling is on the rise. As a certified gambling counselor I help problem gamblers and their families, I was shocked to learn about this. Candy Cigarettes are in the same category.
