It May Affect You

I have no idea if the topic of mental illness is anywhere on your radar.  It certainly wasn't until I married into a family with such history.  It's certainly something to discuss, and that goes for those who are diagnosed with mental illness themselves.



On May 4 at 7:30 pm, Join Parker and in-studio guest Mark Alward on RetroSwitch Live as we disuss the effects of mental illness, how you can be a support to those who suffer from it, and if you are diagnosed with it, how you can help reduce the shame or stigma surrounding mental illness.  We'll also discuss how the church can deal with this issue.  Mark is an author and also the founder of http://www.itsmyturnmovent.org/, an online forum for those dealing with mental illness who can share their stories via video messaging.

Of course, we'll still be playing your favourite retro hits and play some of Mark's favourites.  You can even request ahead of time right on this blog, or the social networks below.
