New Mental Health News Radio Network Podcast – The Mental Health Book Club

New Mental Health News Radio Network podcast Mental Health Book Club uses literature as a lens through which to explore mental illness and recovery

Psychiatrist and film maker Dr. Parvinder Shergill hosts Mental Health News Radio Network’s new podcast Mental Health Book Club.

In addition to her work within the arena of psychiatry Dr. Shergill writes scripts and makes films about mental health from a realistic yet cinematically engaging perspective. She also uses creative media including writing and drama to support her patients.

The Mental Health Book Club podcast is an extension of this work. It aims to reduce the stigma surrounding mental illness and mental health by using the power of narrative to explore these themes.

Dr. Shergill said, “I want people to enjoy the conversation of mental health rather than feeling burdened by it. We should be able to feel better at sharing, and listening to others and realising that mental health is all around us, and that it is okay. I feel also having a doctor such as myself will help people feel more connected with professionals to get help and know there is no boundaries preventing that link we want to make with our patients if they need help”.

In addition to winning an award from The Royal College of Psychiatrists, the podcast was invited to record an episode at the Houses of Parliament.

Mental Health Book Club is available via Mental Health News Radio Network and all other podcasting networks.

Hysteria Radio is now part of the Mental Health News Radio Network’s podcast roster. The show joins over thirty mental health and well-being focused MHNR Network podcasts including The Rehab, Beyond Risk and Back and Converge Autism Radio.

The show is hosted by six time published poet, author and speaker Joseph Fusaro, who also works with organizations including the National Association on Mental Illness to raise mental health awareness. Fusaro personally experienced the healing power of song writing to combat suicidal thoughts and psychosis. This power helped him to stay alive, literally, to seek professional mental health intervention. Alongside therapy and learning to self-care creative expression has been an ongoing support in his recovery from mental illness.

A Mother’s Story of Schizophrenia, Recovery and Hope: Karen S. Yeiser

We recently interviewed author and speaker Bethany Yeiser on Mental Health News Radio.  She shared her journey with schizophrenia, homelessness, and recovery. Today we enjoy speaking with her mother, Karen Yeiser.  Karen has written what is a companion book to Bethany’s story.

One of the questions we asked Karen was how life may have been different for their family if her own book had been available during their years of struggle but also recovery. It was an honor to interview both mother and daughter on separate shows in order to understand what happens on both sides.

Karen was also generous with information listed in her article below to help other families going through this kind of a struggle. Please join us in welcoming Karen S. Yeiser on the show.
