Saskatchewan Health delivers co-ordinated education and prevention programs designed to educate and support individuals and communities in reducing the risks associated with gambling. These include a media campaign of radio and billboard ads, grants to communities, seniors' and post secondary awareness initiatives, interactive displays at the Saskatchewan Science Centre, prevention resources for teachers and specialized resources for youth, families and First Nations people.

A wide selection of resources has been developed. All material is available to Saskatchewan residents free of charge.
