Show Notes
Mady Bachmeier, a peer educator at Miami University, is distributing resource bags to off-campus students, focusing on mental health, suicide prevention, substance use, and now, problem gambling, ahead of events like March Madness. Sports betting has become prevalent on campus, with experts attributing this to online apps and easy access. Six to eight percent of students nationwide are problem gamblers, and local universities are seeing an increase. Post-COVID, students face higher risks of anxiety, depression, and suicide, making gambling a significant threat. If you or someone you know needs help, call 1-800-MY-RESET or explore state resources for financial counseling, self-exclusion, and gambling blocking apps.
