A eulogy I gave in honor of my friend Riley Sisson, who died in 2014 as a direct result of his mental health and addiction struggles. I challenge the audience to not simply hope they'll "do something" in honor of Riley, but to put something on their calendar and repeat it so it actually happens. As I put it, "Do something, and keep doing it!" This challenge turned into a post on my blog which was picked up by the Obsessive Compulsive Foundation for their own blog.
Riley, I miss you every day and hope this message honors you and your memory, my friend!

Riley Sisson Eulogy

A podcast dedicated to encouraging and educating those with mental health concerns and their supporters. We cover any and all topics that have to do with mental illness and the loneliness that too often ensues. Whether it is from stigma, misinformation, or plain old ignorance, people with mental illnesses rarely feel fully understood or accepted. This podcast will encourage you that you are, in fact, not alone. Join us in creating a community of people who fight this lonely battle together.
