KEEPING KIDS HEALTHY: ADOLESCENT ONSET SCHIZOPHRENIA - 1 IN 100 YOUNG PEOPLE

Unlike schizophrenia that strikes in very early childhood, the adolescent-onset variety is frequently highly treatable, and young people have a greater likelihood of fully regaining their lives. But it's up to their families to act quickly and decisively - to recognize the symptoms, and be relentless in getting and maintaining the expert treatment their children need. This film will help you learn how that is done.

Reviews

    LION IN THE HOUSE, A: STORIES OF SURVIVORSHIP

    What happens long after treatment for cancer ends? A family may struggle for years with the financial and emotional impact of cancer, which can interfere with marriages, work histories, sibling welfare and overall family well being. Many survivors encounter other health issues ranging from cognitive and heart disorders, growth disturbances, secondary cancers and fertility issues to trouble with school and self-esteem. Therefore, it is critical that survivors continue receiving long-term follow-up care as they grow into adulthood. Unfortunately, many survivors do not receive the care they need for many reasons: fragmentation of health care and lack of professional training regarding follow-up, as well as survivors lack of awareness about long-term health risks, lack of insurance coverage, concerns about job or insurance discrimination, or fear of a recurrence.

    In this A Lion in the House program, viewers understand the challenges of cancer's immediate burdens, as well as its aftermath. The unfolding drama shows how families move beyond fighting the disease, and how lives must be restarted, redefined and reclaimed. It also highlights the critical needs that young survivors and families have for ongoing support from health professionals, educators, youth development specialists and other community- and faith-based organizations.

    SEX, TEENS AND PUBLIC SCHOOLS

    By Roger Weisberg

    A diverse group of talented teenage actors in New York use theater to tell their fellow teens what their parents don't about sex, love and latex. The real drama comes to life as the moving film reveals that the performers are dramatizing scenes on stage that are based on their own struggles growing up in the age of AIDS. The New York Times said "the remarkable film's power emerges from the interaction between the young actors and their audiences." The Philadelphia Inquirer called the film an "emotionally involving, clear-headed chronicle of STAR Theater."
