KPFA - Pushing Limits episodes

May 17, 2019 Pushing Limits – May 17, 2019
Today we talk about Mental Disability through many points of view. We hear a poem about gentrification from an artist living with anxiety, stage two bipolar disorder, and depression. A psychiatric nurse describes her recovery from severe schizophrenia... and more.
Through the consumer and client empowerment movement, people are on the move.
Hear their stories as well as an analysis of the political and social landscape they navigate every day.
Schizophrenia, obsessive compulsive disorder, depression, and eating addictions. We play excerpts of interviews with consumer advocate Sally Zinman, Catherine Penny and Fable the Poet.
This is a fund drive program and we are asking you to support KPFA, the station that supports our work and the work of so many people with mental disabilities working for their own recovery and the recovery of our culture.
Produced by Adrienne Lauby. Hosts: Shelley Berman, Adrienne Lauby & Josh Elwood.

April 19, 2019 Guide Dogs & Service Animals
[caption id="attachment_311658" align="alignleft" width="238"] Theresa Stern with her guide dog, Wills[/caption]
Blind People and people with severe sight disabilities rely either on guide dogs or the often seen white canes to replace the function of eyes in sighted persons. We host Theresa Stern from Guide Dogs for the Blind [1] to talk about this most valuable resource and the legal rights of the owners of these animals. What goes into training a guide dog? How to acquire one? What's the difference between a guide dog and an emotional support animal? What should a person should do when a landlord refuses to allow a blind person to have a guide dog in a rented residence?
These and other questions answered in this informative discussion.
Produced and Hosted by Eddie Ytuarte.

April 05, 2019 CalABLE Savings Accounts
[1]The disability community can thank people with Developmental and Intellectual Disabilities (and their allies) for an incredibly useful new tool. ABLE accounts [2] have come to California. For the first time, many of us can now amass substantial savings without being penalized with dollars deducted from our Social Security or loss of Medi-Cal benefits!
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits limit savings to $2,000. -- a very shaky safety net indeed. But the federal and state ABLE programs offer a work-around.

As usual, there's twists and turns. Find out more [3] as we talk with Dante Q. Allen, Executive Director of the CalABLE [4] Board.
Sheela Gunn-Cushman and Adrienne Lauby host.
There is a move to expand these accounts to more people. To find out more, visit the Pushing Limits website. [5]
