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.
PRESENTATIONS
We work co operatively with Advocates & Speakers 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. Some Advocates have met with a handful of
students after it was discovered they had been 'playing'. Others have been the keynote speaker to audiences of 500 or
more. And some have even educated entire school districts Middle - High School on the dangers of the Choking Game.
Talk to your school Principal, SuperIntendent, Church group, Ladies Club, Doctors Office, anyone dealing with
adolescents needs to be educated.
MATERIALS
Some venues wish to reproduce materials from The DB Foundation and cover the presentation themselves - this is
perfectly acceptable, the material is FREE for download and print for this purpose.

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.
