Shadow Voices: Finding Hope in Mental Illness, will air December 4th
through February 4th at the discretion of local ABC stations. Ten
persons with mental illness from all across the U.S. tell their
stories, plus many experts and advocates in the field add helpful
perspectives, including: former U.S. First Lady Rosalynn Carter; former
U.S. Surgeon General Dr. David Satcher; Dr. William Anthony of Boston
University, founder of the modern rehabilitation movement; and Dr.
Joyce Burland, founder of the Family to Family program for the National
Alliance on Mental Illness. The program focuses on peopleÂs experiences
with stigma, recovery and rehabilitation, parity in insurance programs,
and how faith communities can do a better job responding to those with
mental illness. The program is produced by Mennonite Media in
cooperation with the Interfaith Broadcasting Commission and the
Communications Commission of National Council of Churches.

(http://www.shadowvoices.com/):
We invite you to enter into the lives of persons living with mental
illness. We challenge you to take up the cause of fighting the stigma
that they face. We encourage you to read what experts in the field of
mental health and clergy have to say as they look at recovery and how
communities can join in the effort to create a truly healing and
hopeful environment. This Web site is an extension of the Shadow Voices
documentary  with additional interviews, stories, comments and
resources. This Web site is especially helpful for those who:
* have a family member with a mental illness
* are pastors, social workers, policemen, or any others who
encounter people with mental illnesses in their work
* wish to be more aware of how to be a support to those with mental
illnesses, whether that is a neighbor or a member of your church

do the hard work of living with and recovering from mental illness
