Many adults with schizophrenia rely on family members for daily support, often depending on parents in their 50s or 60s. As these parents grow older, they face mounting physical and emotional challenges — along with the pressing question of who will care for their child in the future. In this episode of Inside Schizophrenia, host Rachel Star Withers, who lives with schizophrenia, and co-host Gabe Howard dive into the unique struggles of aging parents caring for an adult child with schizophrenia. Joining the conversation is Maye Jepson, a mother and caregiver to an adult son with schizophrenia. As a passionate advocate and a master's-level counselor, Maye offers invaluable insights on navigating the caregiving journey and preparing for the future. Maye Jepson lives in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and, along with her husband Phil, is the caregiver/TRUST PARTNER and parent of Jason Jepson who has a diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder. Remembering the uncertain days when her family first learned of her son's mental illness, Maye formed a Facebook support group — Parenting Thru Mental Illness — hoping to give and share resources for those who are newly entering the world of mental illness. In the past, Maye has volunteered with several international boards, including Stonecroft Ministries, Imago Dei Arts, and Global Partners in Hope. In addition to a Bachelor of Science degree, Maye has a master's degree in counseling from Marshall University. Like her son, Maye volunteers with the Share Network where she shares her perspective on mental health as a parent, wanting desperately to help a young adult child maneuver the challenges of schizophrenia. She works as a Care Guide for Johnson and Johnson's Connected by Hope program. Maye serves on the Advisory Board of Students with Psychosis because she believes in the importance of shedding light on mental health issues from the youngest to the oldest consumer. Maye and her son Jason were Finalists for the Social Health Network's Best Team award, and they were the recipients of the Students with Psychosis Family Advocacy Award. Our host, Rachel Star Withers, creates videos documenting her schizophrenia, ways to manage and let others like her know they are not alone and can still live an amazing life. She has written Lil Broken Star: Understanding Schizophrenia for Kids and a tool for schizophrenics, To See in the Dark: Hallucination and Delusion Journal. Fun Fact: She has wrestled alligators. To learn more about Rachel, please visit her website, RachelStarLive.com. Our cohost, Gabe Howard, is an award-winning writer and speaker who lives with bipolar disorder. He is the author of the popular book, "Mental Illness is an Asshole and other Observations," available from Amazon; signed copies are also available directly from the author.

Welcome to the daily304 – your window into Wonderful, Almost Heaven, West Virginia.   Today is Monday, Dec. 16, 2024  Stargazers flock to West Virginia's dark skies for prime night sky viewing…Marshall University hosts a First Generation College Celebration for incoming students…and four more manufacturers join the Apprenticeship Works initiative offered through Marshall Advanced Manufacturing Center…on today's daily304. #1 – From WV EXPLORER – West Virginia is becoming a premier destination for East Coast sky watchers, thanks to its low light pollution and proximity to major U.S. cities. The opportunity to live far from city lights but within a drive of a few hours of large metro areas is also attracting new residents. Night in some parts of West Virginia is so star-spangled that it may seem pre-industrial, says astronomer David Buhrman, who tours the region with telescopes, leading educational programs and advocating for the value of starlight. Buhrman operates an observation area, a “dark site” in northern Greenbrier County. Visit wvtourism.com/stars to learn more about where you can see the stars in Almost Heaven.

Up to two thirds of Marshall's 12,019 students identify as first gen, which means coming from a family where neither parent completed a four year degree.   Among Marshall's many first gen support initiatives is a first generation directory, listing many faculty and staff who were first gen students.  Dr. Marybeth Beller is on that first gen faculty list. The political science professor got emotional remembering her single mother, working as an office secretary, acting upon her vow to ensure her three daughters went to college. Beller said today's Marshall's first gen students have something she somewhat lacked in school: a vast and varied support network. “It is absolutely amazing to me to learn about the wealth of opportunities that we have in terms of student services, not just in tutoring, but in support services to help guide our students and show them the ropes,” she said.

Welcome to the daily304 – your window into Wonderful, Almost Heaven, West Virginia.   Today is Sunday, Dec. 15, 2024  West Virginia University's new folklife exhibit explores cultural connections past and present…discover that perfect Hallmark holiday town, right here in Almost Heaven…and WV School of Osteopathic Medicine awards its first two The Health Plan scholarships…on today's daily304. #1 – From WV PUBLIC – The term “folklife” can evoke the sounds of fiddles and banjoes, or black and white images of grandparents on the old family farm. And those can both be true.  But an exhibit at West Virginia University invites the public to explore how the traditional still influences us today — and how new traditions might influence tomorrow. Catherine Rakowski is the research and exhibition specialist for the West Virginia and Regional History Center at WVU in Morgantown. The center is displaying a piece of folk art she wasn't sure she would ever get a chance to show off to the public -- a friendship quilt. Rakowski said it's one of her favorites, and with good reason: Some 20 hand-embroidered squares, each containing a floral design, and more importantly the name of its maker, are bordered with pink and white fabric borders.  Read more: https://wvpublic.org/folklife-exhibit-explores-cultural-connections-past-and-present/   #2 – From WV LIVING – When temperatures drop, people around the globe reach for the remote to find feel-good movies with loveable leads that are up to holiday hijinks.

In the season 5 finale episode, I explore Hill's approach to Team Leadership as detailed in chapter 16 from the 9th edition of Peter G. Northouse's "Leadership: Theory and Practice." During the segment, I highlight connections to our class' definition of leadership, discuss the importance of a strong culture, provide an overview of the model, and conclude with strengths and criticisms of the model. For the final Living Leadership interview of the year I'm joined by Deb Boughton, the Deputy Athletic Director at Marshall University. Before arriving at Marshall, she had a similar role at Northern Illinois University. Deb is a 1997 Trinity University alumna. While at Trinity she was a standout on the women's soccer team and was in the first class of Trinity Master's of Accounting program.  She speaks glowingly about role models and mentors like her head coach Nick Cowell, accounting professor Dr. Petrea Sandlin, and Trinity's longtime Director of Athletics Bob King. Deb firmly believes that nothing gets done if you haven't built strong relationships and emphasizes the difference between management and leadership. Speaking about relationships and the value of intercollegiate athletics, Deb says "A coach connects you to a program, but your teammates keep you there." She highlights that great leaders see no boundaries or limitations, but that they need strong colleagues to help them be aware of the pitfalls or proverbial alligators. I love how she describes what college athletics was for her and what it is for so many others - a place to learn, overcome fears, and develop confidence. During the conversation we discuss fruit salad versus gumbo as metaphors for why diversity matters and her two tenets of leadership: 1) reliability and 2) trust. This is an amazing conversation to conclude season 5 and I hope you enjoy!

The 9-acre, 110,000-square-foot former home of Kanawha Manufacturing is being overhauled and renovated to become the Charleston LIFT (Learning, Innovation, Food & Technology) Center. The initiative is seeded by funds from the $62.8 million federal grant received by the Appalachian Climate Technologies Coalition (ACT Now Coalition) from the American Rescue Plan Act. According to Andrew Dunlap, director of economic development for the Charleston Area Alliance, there are already three committed tenants for the new facility: Marshall University's Green Battery Research Institute, a food hub/commercial kitchen space and a vocational training center for the Coal Development Corporation. “We're going to have just under 20,000 square feet for a future tenant or tenants,” Dunpap said. “We're out there actively marketing that space right now.” Read more: https://www.statejournal.com/news/historic-manufacturing-site-in-charleston-west-virginia-undergoing-multi-million-overhaul/article_56ce12cb-744c-5e2f-984f-76e5c81aaa8f.html   #2 – From WAJR – The Appalachian Regional Commission has awarded nearly $2 million through the POWER Initiative to Woodlands Community Lender on behalf of Mon Forest Towns Partnership for a series of projects to connect towns with the Monongahela National Forest.

On this week we speak with Dr. Federica Fornaciari, who is a Professor, a researcher, a children's book author, and the Academic Program Director for the MA in Strategic Communications at National University. She received a doctorate in Communication with a concentration in Electronic Security and Privacy from the University of Illinois at Chicago and a Master of Arts in Journalism and Mass Communication from Marshall University.  Her research and teaching revolve around emerging technologies, privacy issues, digital identities, frame theory, and media representation. Federica has published several peer-reviewed articles and book chapters including “The silver generation and beauty: does American culture provide models for positive ageing?” in Critical Studies in Fashion & Beauty; “Reframing Hate: The Changing Face of White Power Narratives” in Discourse Analysis and Conflict Studies. “What is Privacy Anyway? A Longitudinal Analysis of Media Frames of Privacy” in the Journal of Intellectual Freedom and Privacy, and “Pricey privacy: Framing the economy of information in the digital age” in First Monday. A storyteller at heart, Federica recently published her first children's book titled “Rosa & Cammy: From Reggio to the World” to cultivate cultural bridges and ignite young minds with the magic of imagination. Federica's multifaceted journey embodies the spirit of exploration, nurturing intellectual growth, and fostering connection amidst the ever-evolving landscape of communication. --------------   Dr. Fornaciari discusses the concept of technological sublime and its application to AI. The technological sublime refers to the awe, admiration, and fear that arise when encountering a monumental technological advancement. AI, particularly generative AI, elicits a sense of technological sublime due to its ability to push the boundaries of human creativity and intelligence. However, there is also a sense of apprehension and concern about the societal impacts of AI and the potential loss of human values. The conversation also touches on the importance of privacy, media literacy, and critical thinking in the age of deepfakes.  ---------------- Learn more about our guest: https://www.nu.edu/degrees/arts-and-humanities/faculty/federica-fornaciari/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/federica-fornaciari/ ---------------- Thank you to our show sponsor: Lebra https://www.lebrahq.com/

The 2024 Presidential election season continues to be a rollercoaster of unpredictable actions, reactions and events. It seems each week brings big political headlines. Political campaigns have always had some rough edges, but now, candidates routinely call each other names and some frequently perpetuate outright lies in their speeches and at their rallies. That's a challenge for many voters, including some of the youngest. In this episode of Us & Them, host Trey Kay travels to Marshall University to talk with a new generation of voters. Many Generation Z voters, from 18 to 27 years old, want to get involved. At a recent Us & Them event, they talked about their role in our democratic process, and about the frustrations that the required compromises can create.

First time we have Dr. Robin McCutcheon, Professor at Economics at Marshall University, on Quite Frankly in 2024, and it is going to be a banger of an evening as the topics are rich and plentiful. A new Jobs Report needs an honest assessment, but we are also going to tie in excess mortality, the signs of youth rejecting the system, Putin & BRICS, and much more. It's going to be a great round-up episode, and there should be at least 30 minutes open toward the end for calls and comment.
