Parents Anonymous® Launches Podcast "Breaking the Stigma" Featuring Unfiltered Conversations Surrounding Today's Mental Health Crisis.

Parents Anonymous Inc., a national organization offering free mental health programs and a helpline for both parents and youth, announces the launch of its podcast Breaking the Stigma. The podcast highlights candid conversations with individuals who have battled mental health obstacles and their journey to wellness. Breaking the Stigma podcast premiered on, Tuesday, July 11, featuring an interview with R&B singer and songwriter Amina Buddafly, and is co-hosted by DJ Mike Gdnss.


Breaking the Stigma is hosted by Dr. Lisa Pion-Berlin, a licensed hypnotherapist and CEO of Parents Anonymous, Inc. with over 30 years of experience helping those with mental health challenges. "The mental health epidemic is something that needs to be talked about especially when it relates to parents and children of all ages and young people," says Dr. Berlin, ACHT, ACSW and President at Parents Anonymous Inc. "Blame and shame do nothing to help anyone who is struggling. The pressures put on people today are overwhelming, and we can't help people suffering if we are all still too scared to talk about mental health. We are aiming to change that with this show."

Tips for Academic Writing to Reach a Mainstream Internet Audience

  If you are a professor or graduate student, you know more about your field of study than most of the writers giving written sermons on opinion pages, Quora pages, Sub-Redditt’s, Twitter feeds, and possibly bookshelves right now. Your research and education informs your point of view. You know what you’re writing about — but commentators might know better how to write for a general audience. This means that the voices who have the most to contribute to public discourse are often getting drowned out. If this is something you struggle with, here are some writing tips to reach a broader audience: Don’t approach your introduction like it’s the warm-up before you get to the good stuff.

If you have writer’s block, look at the opening paragraphs of a practiced columnist, someone like Maureen Dowd ...

Caren Beilin's novel  Revenge of the Scapegoat , winner of the 2023 Vermont Book Award for fiction, is both comical and tragic.  Revenge is marked by repetition, with an ending that mirrors its beginning. And the substance for its action is the restoration of objects from the protagonist's past that she hoped would never return. The Vermont Book Award, given out annually, "shines a light" on a book and focuses readers' awareness on work they may have otherwise missed. Iris, an adjunct college writing teacher in Philadelphia, thinks of herself the family scapegoat. When she was in her teens, she received two letters from her father that she saw as encapsulating his hatred for her. Now 36, she's left all that behind — until one day both letters reappear in a UPS package from her father.
