It's just one more variable that we try to deal with in the education piece.
Imagine a world where gaming and gambling blur the lines of fun and addiction. In this episode of 'Stigma Busters', the focus is on Problem Gambling Awareness Month. The host sits down with Kyle Clark and Bill Ivoska from the Wood County Educational Service Center to unpack the latest trends in problem gambling among youth and how gaming might be steering them towards risky behaviors.

Kyle and Bill shed light on this growing issue, emphasizing the need for parents, caregivers, and teachers to stay alert to any behavioral changes in kids.

One key takeaway is their call to legislators: think carefully about the laws being passed, as they can have unintended consequences on our youth.

Whether you're a parent, teacher, or just someone concerned about these issues, this conversation offers valuable insights and practical advice.
