WHYY Radio Interview on Stigma



On Monday, July 20th, I will be joining Dr. Dan Gottlieb on his wonderful radio show "Voices in the Family" talking about mental health stigma in television media.

As many of you know, addressing stigma has been a large focus of my professional and personal life. In my opinion, the greatest source for addressing stigma is to continually debunk the myths and stereotypes that shadow mental illness.

So if you want to give a listen live, the broadcast starts at noon. You can also send a tweet on Twitter or a direct email if you want to be part of the discussion. They'll also be a link to hear the program after it's aired. And Dr. Justin Richardson, technical advisor for the HBO show In Treatment, will be guesting with me.

So, here's to stamping out stigma.
