Today on Lake Effect, we focus on mental health. A psychologist joins us to debunk some common myths about suicide. A Milwaukee creative shares her experience after losing her mother to suicide. We hear from the wife of a former investigative reporter who died by suicide. Plus, we examine some artifacts left over from Milwaukee’s past mental health care facilities.

Guests:

  • Dr. David Capriano, psychologist & co-chair of the suicide prevention council at the Medical College of Wisconsin
  • Marina Murphy, freelance creative
  • Deb Sherwood
  • Jonathan Piel, unofficial historian of the Behavioral Health Division in Milwaukee
