The Gambling Away the Golden Years TM educational kit explores the possibility of gambling turning from entertainment to addiction during the retirement years. For the small percentage of older adults who become addicted to gambling, retirement may mean debt, physical and mental health problems, estrangement from family and friends – a far cry from golden. This educational kit contains a ten-minute video and ten, 18-page Gambling Away the Golden Years TM books. The video and book integrates real stories by real people, including an adult child of an addicted gambler, who tells about the impact a gambling addiction can have on the individual, family and the community. This educational kit is designed to be used for general public educational presentations, in-service training programs for health care providers, older adult care providers, geriatric courses and in a wide range of informational settings.
