 Love, Empathy, and Hope for People Coping with Mental Illnesses Mental illness is much more common than you may realize.

You'll hear Sue's advice on accessing medical treatment, learn about the Silver Ribbon Club at South High in Minneapolis, why so few hospitals have psychiatric units, and more on the free NAMI classes and support groups. You'll even discover the most cost effective way our society can treat people with serious mental illnesses. ruth@ruthtoday.com (Ruth Koscielak)
