Gaming and Gambling harm - what is the connection?!
Kia ora Otautahi whanau. Today is day 3 of Gambling Harm Awareness Week and today we're sharing information on gaming. If you have young people in your life, you have probably seen the extent gaming plays in their world. While there are many benefits and skills involved in gaming, there are a few things to look out for and talk to gamers about to keep it fun and not harmful. We have specific information about Lootboxes, one of the more concerning aspects.
We do have a bit of flexibility to offer support to people who are affected by gaming harm, so if you feel like you need some extra education and support, give us a call. (Remember all of our services are free, confidential and person centred and available in a range of locations - including online).
