The holidays are a lot. It’s okay to not be “on” all the time. ✨
With 41% of Americans reporting higher stress levels this season, we’re sharing expert advice with @wmtwtv from Kristie Worster, Sweetser’s Chief Program Officer, on how to navigate the pressure.
Common stress triggers: 💰 Financial pressure 🗓️ Overpacked schedules 🏠 Family dynamics 💔 Grief and loss
The takeaway: Boundaries are a gift to yourself. Whether it’s saying “no” to an invite or asking to keep politics off the dinner table, your mental health comes first.
📞 Support is just a call away: Reach our free 24/7 Peer Support Line at 1-866-771-9276 or text/call 988 for crisis support.

Every Maine child should be able to enjoy the light of the holiday season. We are grateful to our friends Jon, Joe, and Courtney with @1019por, the team at @whoopie_1009, and their many listeners for supporting the youth we serve at Sweetser. Every year, they help fulfill the holiday wishes of children in our residential, crisis, and educational programs. THANK YOU! They had a little visit today at the radio station from our resident Sweetser elf, Justin. 🎁

We were proud to have partnered with the @la_metro_chamber as a drop-off location for their annual “Stuff the Bus” holiday campaign! 🎁
The items were collected at our Hope & Healing Center in Lewiston. These donations will help bring some holiday joy to local families, children, seniors, and pets this season. The donated items will be distributed to support those who need them most in the area.
Thanks to everyone who donated and to our team in Lewiston for being a drop-off location!
