The holidays can be rough. They can bring up stress, grief, cravings, family tension, or memories we would rather avoid. That is why planning ahead matters. Creating a coping plan before the holidays begin can help you feel more grounded and in control. Think about your triggers, who you can reach out to, what boundaries you may need, and what supports keep you steady. You are not weak for needing a plan. You are taking care of yourself, and that matters.

Know the Link! High-THC cannabis can trigger or worsen psychosis in some teens, especially those with a family history of mental illness. Starting the conversation early matters.

Cason’s Health Promoter Marnie Prokator joined Walter Sendzik on Searching for Solutions on 610 CKTB for an important conversation about the realities of addiction in Niagara. They explored Cason’s new public awareness campaign aimed at young males, a bold and honest initiative designed to cut through the noise of glossy gambling ads and speak directly to those at risk.

the discussion moves through the counselling, outreach, and harm reduction programs Cason offers, and shared what family members, friends, and communities can do when someone needs help.

This episode is not about blaming or banning. It is about understanding a rapidly changing landscape, recognizing early signs of harm, and making sure people know that support is available, confidential, local, and judgment free.

If you or someone you know is struggling with online gambling, this conversation offers hope, guidance, and a path forward. Reach out.
