THE VOICE OF THE LAW: KARIU DISCUSSES THE PREVENTION OF GAMBLING ADDICTION

On October 6, student self-government leaders at Karaganda Industrial University discussed the prevention of gambling addiction, personal responsibility, and financial security. The meeting was held as part of the republican project “Law and Order,” with the participation of representatives of the city branch of the “Adilet” party and the NGO “Zhanaru.”

Tatyana Stepanova, a top-category educational psychologist of the “Zań men tártıp” project, spoke about the causes, signs, and consequences of gambling addiction. The participants also held a dialogue with young people on the Constitution, citizens’ rights and responsibilities.

The practical part was organized by Valentina Pavlik, head of the “Law and Order” project. During the thematic quest, students discussed real-life situations, learned to identify risky offers, and make responsible decisions.

Representatives of the NGO “Zhanaru” conducted a survey among students, which helped determine young people’s attitudes toward gambling and their level of awareness of the associated risks.

At the end, all participants received informational brochures with recommendations on preventing gambling addiction and protecting financial security.
