🎙️1st and Now | Special Episode | Jamie Taras, Angus Reid and Honourable Jennifer Whiteside

Matt & Nik bring you a special 1st and Now with Lion legends Jamie Taras, Angus Reid and Honourable Jennifer Whiteside, Minster of Mental Health And Addiction. Statistics about the Toxic Drug Crisis in British Columbia show that men are affected disproportionately. This year in BC:
71% of toxic drug-related deaths have been men and 69% of those are aged 30-59. So, the BC Lions are teaming up with the Ministry of Mental Health & Addiction to let people know there is a place to get help. The roundtable discusses the Help Starts Here Program which is a valuable resource where people battling mental health and addiction or their loved ones, can find help.

16:37 Super well said Angus, 54-year old Vancouver-born guy here and I struggle regularly with believing it's ok to role model vulnerability for younger men, but I know deep down the struggle is worth it. Thanks for a great meaningful podcast, Go Lions!
