Effective prevention is built on the systemic interaction of schools, social services, gambling operators and families. Below are key areas and projects.

1. School education programs

1. Financial literacy lessons

Module "Excitement as Risk": probability theory, mathematical analysis of games, practical cases.
Interactive simulations (without real money) to form an understanding of variance and "home advantage."

2. Psycho-pedagogical trainings

Trainings on the development of self-control and resistance to group pressure (role play, cases).
Mindfulness exercises to reduce impulsivity.

3. Healthy Choice Project

Introduced in a number of public schools in NSW and VIC: 4 high school classes on addiction risks and protection mechanisms.

2. Parent support groups

Online forums and meetings for sharing experiences: how to identify signs, how to talk, where to go.
3. Memos and infographics

Distribution in parental chats and medical institutions - according to important signs and contacts of assistance services.

6. Performance evaluation and monitoring

1. Annual studies

NSW and VIC staff monitoring: program coverage, change in awareness, decreased at-risk percentage of adolescents.
2. Metrics of online platforms

Statistics of visits to the "Youth" sections, the number of downloads of applications and calls to the chatbot.
3. Analysis of complaints and requests

The number of calls to Gamblers Anonymous hotlines is 16-25 years old, the share of self-exclusions.

Result

The complex of preventive measures includes:

1. Educational programs in schools;
2. Government campaigns and digital services;
3. Extracurricular clubs and volunteer initiatives;
4. Technical locking tools;
5. Family and psychological support;
6. Systematic monitoring and evaluation of results.

This approach reduces youth involvement in risky gambling practices and forms stable skills of self-control and informed decision-making in adolescents.
