Being a Child Care Giver - Apr 05,2013

Join this weeks guest, Anika Francis, as she discusses what it was like growing up with a mentally ill parent. She will talk about the impact having a mother who was schizophrenic had on her childhood and how it forced her to take on a care giving role at a very early age. Anika will share with you how being a child care giver affected her emotionally, physically, psychologically and how she has healed. She wants to talk to young people about the importance of their own health and balance in situations where they are forced to care for parents due to mental illness, drug or alcohol abuse, etc.
