Join us for a discussion about innovative approaches to supporting Black men impacted by problem gambling. We will explore multimedia facilitation prompts that promote critical thinking and emotional intelligence for Black men navigating structural impediments to Black male success and wellness. This presentation will address Black men’s relationship with money, meaning making for risk seeking, the influence of social media, youth grooming societal factors, and solutions that require important personal and collective shifts towards sustainable healing.

Are you a sports fan? Did you know that in the U.S., sports betting is legal, and revenue amounted to $113.9 billion sports betting wagered and gross revenue (operator win) of $11.07 billion (Covers.com). Around 1 in 5 U.S. adults reported they have personally bet on sports in some way (Pew Research Center, October 2025). Sports betting is perceived as harmless but we have youth, adults, student athletes, and professional athletes who are at risk. Attend this session and learn prevention strategies to help people be part of a winning team without suffering losses.
