How to start a conversation and support young people

There are many ways for you to engage with children and teenagers in your life and get them talking about how they see gambling affecting them and their friends.

What young people say about gambling

Before supporting the young people in your life, learn about how young people view and participate in gambling, including how gambling and video games can intersect.

As a parent, grandparent or other adult, what you say and do has an impact. You can have a major influence on your child’s relationship to gambling.

Workshop for parents

Parents can play an important role in the prevention and minimisation of gambling harm among children and young people.

Talking to young people about gambling

Professional support for young people

You can access online, over-the-phone and face-to-face resources to support under 25s and families dealing with gambling-related issues.
