Rebecca Schaper - Slaying the Dragons of Mental Health

A THANKSGIVING DAY SPECIAL – Slaying the Dragons of Mental Health
with Rebecca Schaper

Aired Thursday, November 26, 2020 at 4:00 PM PST / 7:00 PM
EST

This week’s show is special for two reasons. First, because the
story shared this week will deeply resonate with anyone who is
struggling with mental health issues, as well as those who care for
them.

And second, because it prefaces the launch of an important new
multi-media Podcast series to be launched in January 2021, called
CRACKED! The Podcast, whose goal is to shine a new light on mental
health and the many things that influence it.

Mental health has become one of the hottest topics of our era. We
all have mental health, just as we all have physical and emotional
health, and, just as we all struggle to stay in shape and manage
our emotions at times, so, too, do we all face times when our
mental health is affected by circumstances beyond our control. The
events of this year being the perfect case in point.

Rebecca Schaper is an author, film-maker, philanthropist, and
mental health advocate. This week, Rebecca Schaper shares her
family story, which is chronicled in her award-winning documentary
“A Sister’s Call,” and her book The Light in His Soul – Lessons
from my Brother’s Schizophrenia. Both of which have been hailed as
essential for anyone who dares to see the miraculous gift that life
presents us in our struggles, obstacles, and most difficult
moments. It is a story that takes us on a journey through pain,
sadness and suffering. Of growing up with a mentally ill parent,
child sexual abuse, parental suicide, and the 20-year disappearance
and reappearance of a much-loved brother who was diagnosed with
paranoid schizophrenia.
