Watch our Trust Me film exploring the impact of gambling and other risk-taking behaviours
‘Trust Me’ is a unique film exploring the impact that gambling and other risk-taking behaviours can have on young people as well as their family, friends and communities. The film draws on the views, experiences, and imaginations of Scottish young people and is the only free film-based teaching resource on this topic in the UK.
The film is designed to be shown to groups of young people in formal or informal education settings. Our Trust Me resources include follow-up session plans for teachers and youth workers.
