GWV - Mental Illness
Victoria Mascarenhas, Gina Brockerville and Whitney
Farrell produced a radio show. Our topic was about Mental Illness. We had four
subtopics for Mental Illness. They were Suicide, Stress, Anxiety, and
Depression. Each segment was about 15 minutes each. We discussed about some
typical questions that people would not understand. We answered them and gave
our own opinions about it. We also had three articles that had to do with
Mental Illness. One of the articles discussed about Demi Lovato and how she
went through a bipolar disorder, depression, etc. She went through a lot of
struggles and we thought discussing about her story would help influence youth
to step up and not suffer in silence anymore. The second article we discussed
was about therapy in the wilderness. It helps youth become more open about
their illnesses and to help them speak up about their struggles. The last
article we discussed was about this 17 year old boy who committed suicide. His
father was a pastor and opened his son’s death to the public, to let them know
that it’s fine to speak up and not suffer in silence.
