Schizophrenia: Three Moms in the Trenches
Schizophrenia in the Family. How do we cope? How can we help? We each have adult sons with schizophrenia and have written acclaimed books about it. We say it like it is, to help families, practitioners and those with SMI (serious mental illness) feel less alone...and learn. Randye Kaye, Mindy Greiling, Miriam Feldman...and guests.

We ask:
1. What do you see as the differences between being married to someone with a serious mental illness compared to the parent of someone with a mental illness.
2. How have your children been affected by your spouse's mental illness, and how do you navigate your role as both spouse and partner in that regard?
3. How do you set boundaries (a whole podcast in itself, no doubt) for yourself without guilt or shame? (Which can be a discussion about self-care.)
4. Since you co-facilitate one of the few support groups for partners of those with a mental illness, tell us about the benefits of support groups.
