Focus Youth Gambling Prevention is a program of IABH and is funded in whole or in part by the Illinois Department of Human Services.

Sports betting is one of the most popular forms of gambling, and its easy accessibility has made it a growing risk for young people. Focus Youth Gambling Prevention is here to help youth understand these risks and make safer choices.

Taking risks can be fun but not when it will impact your life. Learn with Focus how you can prevent this and educate those around you too.
