Gaming and gambling harm awareness session for parents, carers, and guardians.

21st Apr 2026

Please see attached flyer for our upcoming online gaming and gambling harm awareness session for parents, carers, and guardians.

 

The session aims to develop parents and carers understanding of gaming and gambling, enabling them to have conversations with their children about the potential harms.  The topics covered include:

  • Gambling: exploring the influences on children.
  • Gaming: discussing the benefits and concerns.
  • The blurred lines between gaming and gambling.
  • How to spot the signs of harm.
  • Useful tips to create a healthy gaming balance.
  • Where to get help and support.

 

The workshop will take place on Wednesday 29th April, 7-8.30pm on Zoom.

We would be grateful if you could share this information with any parents or carers you feel would benefit from attending.  Places can be booked by calling Parentline NI on 0808 8020 400.
