Deal or No Dice? Gambling & Problem Gambling
Julie Hynes, MA, CPS — Lane County Health & Human Services (HHS), Prevention Specialist/Webmaster

This workshop will use a game show format as a way of learning about gambling and problem gambling. Come learn about recognizing the difference between “social” and problem gambling, how to tell if someone you know has a problem, and what to do about it. Prizes will be given to all participants, but at your own risk—unlike “Deal or No Deal,” you’ll need a little skill to win at this one. Be ready to play!

Graphic Recording: A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words
Dana Boales, MA, JD — Graphic Recorder

Just as maps help travelers find their way, graphic recording helps groups to find their
way as they work together. Graphic recordings help people feel acknowledged (we hear
you) and become engaged (your thoughts and ideas matter). This workshop is designed
for anyone who is looking for a new, more interesting way to record meetings, events
and presentations. The goal of this workshop is to teach participants how to use symbols,
words and color to create a real time pictures of work being done by individuals and
groups. Those attending the workshop will learn how to create their own symbols, turn
words into pictures and use color to enhance their work.

Message in the Music
Marc Fomby, CPS — FTC Prevention Services

This informative, fun, interactive, and educational workshop will introduce you to the world of Hip Hop and explore the lyrical content within its music that is communicating messages of crime, violence and degradation to our youth. In this workshop participants are guided through exploration of current trends in the “Hip Hop” culture that have become “acceptable” in society by examining blatant and subliminal messages that youth are exposed to daily via radio, television, video games, mp3 players, and other common entertainment formats. Media literacy is promoted as a means of being proactive to protect and teach youth how to make healthy, positive lifestyle choices. This workshop is ideal for creative prevention and intervention strategies to facilitate groups, trainings, interventions, etc. by actively involving youth in the process of deciphering and dissecting the “Message in the Music”.
