To strengthen youth leadership in gambling prevention and promote healthy community norms, we are launching the Youth Action for Gambling Prevention Program. This mini grant would award up to $3,000 per youth group to design and implement positive social norming campaigns using the Science of the Positive (SOTP) framework.
Rather than focusing on fear or punishment, projects will highlight what most teens already do right, reinforce healthy choices, and amplify protective factors that reduce gambling risk.
Eligible grantees are located in Region 2 of Connecticut. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to Brailee Whan at bwhan@bhcare.org.
Region 2 communities include Ansonia, Bethany, Branford, Chester, Clinton, Cromwell, Deep River, Derby, Durham, East Haddam, East Hampton, East Haven, Essex, Guilford, Haddam, Hamden, Killingworth, Madison, Meriden, Middlefield, Middletown, Milford, New Haven, North Branford, North Haven, Old Saybrook, Orange, Portland, Seymour, Shelton, Wallingford, Westbrook, West Haven, and Woodbridge.
