Auto asphyxia and oxygen deprivation practices need to be addressed in the same manner as other
current teen risky behaviors.  Todays youth are taking risks.  They are car surfing, abusing over the
counter and prescription medication, inhaling and ingesting common household products.  All in an
attempt to achieve an altered consciousness, to complete a dare or just out of teen curiosity.

Without the knowledge of exactly how dangerous these activities are and what the potential
consequences could be, we will continue to lose valuable members of our society.

We work co operatively with
Advocates nationwide who volunteer their time and expertise to provide
Choking Game Education to all who request it. No group is too small or too large.  Advocates have met
with a handful of students after it was discovered they had been 'playing'.  Other advocates have been
the keynote speaker to audiences of 500 or more.

At Home - There is no age too young for this warning.  
Children as young as Kindergarten have 'played' the
Choking Game.
  Convey to children of this age the
importance of breathing and the dangers in function of
their body.  It goes hand-in-hand with the talk every parent
has with their preschooler about never putting plastic
bags over their head or anything around their neck.  Keep
talking as your child enters Middle School.  Be mindful of
the warning signs.


Middle School - The median age for Choking Game
participants is 13.5 years old, Middle School aged.   With
so many parents unaware of the Choking Game, we
recommend Middle Schools include brief Choking Game
Information in their  "Welcome Back to School"
newsletters as children enter Middle School.  With
parents aware, the school district aware there is then a
united front in keep youth safe.


High School - include Choking Game in the
curriculum of Health Study and/or Youth Risk Prevention
Programs already covering inhalants, OTC abuse, etc.
