Piece Description
Use these modules to spark discussion on your local news and conversation programming. These 2 to 4 minute snippets from the hour-long special Fred Friendly Seminars: Minds on the Edge-Facing Mental Illness set the scene as our panel of physicians, policy makers and mental health professionals grapple with the conflicts, costs and consequences of a mental health-care system gone mad.
In Part 1, panelists discuss the issues Olivia’s family would encounter upon confronting her about her irrational behavior and seeking help at a local hospital.
In Part 2, panelists discuss municipal and legal reactions to a case like Olivia’s—someone whose mental illness has not yet manifested as a threat to herself or others.
In Part 3, panelists discuss public policy towards the mental ill; what kind of programming, supervision, and guidance is provided for people like James, who are homeless and helpless?
In Part 4, panelists look at the judicial system; when James is arrested, we follow him through the courts and on to prison, as panelists question the role of the judicial system in mental health reform.
