Mental Health MattersMental Health Matters

Gail Moskowitz, LCSW | Mondays 1 – 1:30pm

Mental Health Matters is a weekly radio program hosted by Gail Moskowitz and dedicated to Mental Health, interpersonal relations, addiction, sex and sexuality, and discussing healthy ways in which to live a more thoughtful and emotionally honest and fulfilling life. Every week you, the listeners, have the opportunity to ask questions or weigh in on the subject. 

Psychological issues are as complex as they are misunderstood.  On one hand most of us have had issues that are emotional in nature, blind spots, and confusions; have experienced sadness or depression, anxiety or panic, peer pressure, loss and the list goes on and on.   Yet we underfund mental health programs, have morally confused notions of how to make our pain go away and judge others for their behavior.

My Topic is  Part 2 of:

 "Why in 2011 in the United States of America are our Most Vulnerable Citizens Homeless?"  

The statistics are striking and sad, estimates range from 25% to 45% of the more than 700,000 people who are homeless on any given night, have a serious mental illness. One out of 50—or about 1.5 million—American children are homeless each year, according to a 2009 study by the National Center on Family Homelessness
