The Gambling Awareness Youth Media Project is a partnership between Capitol Region Education Council (CREC) and DMHAS Problem Gambling Services (PGS) and is supported by the Connecticut Council on Problem Gambling (CCPG), who are all committed to working with youth across the state to focus on vital gambling prevention efforts. Through this partnership, we are able to provide learning experiences on the value of prevention, raise awareness of the warning signs of problem gambling, and assist youth and their adult advisors in developing, producing, and distributing gambling awareness messages.
