The Digital Symposium explores evidence-based strategies for preventing problem gambling among youth and young adults, focusing on emotional regulation and culturally responsive interventions.

As gambling exposure increases, young people face heightened risks of developing gambling-related problems and co-occurring mental health issues. The symposium addresses these challenges through expert-led discussions on:

• Links between emotional dysregulation and problem gambling severity
• Development of effective coping strategies
• Implementation of culturally responsive prevention programs
• Practical tools for creating targeted interventions

The event provides professionals with actionable insights to develop more effective gambling prevention programs that consider diverse youth identities and experiences.
