The National Federation of State High School Associations in the US has introduced a free online course to help educate students, parents, coaches, and school administrators about the dangers of sports betting.
Hosted on the association’s Learning Center, the program explores the expansion of the sports betting industry, the dangers of problem gambling, and how to avoid getting involved. It outlines the potential consequences young people face if they engage in betting activities.
“The NFHS Learning Center is pleased to help raise awareness of the mental health challenges and risks sports betting can pose to young people,” Dan Schuster, Director of Educational Services at the National Federation of State High School Associations, said in a press release.
