Sorting Through Shadows

four personal stories of youth and mental health

Hosted and produced by Dmae Roberts
Sorting Theme by Stephen Hoyt
Angela's Theme by David Gilmore, Outright Radio
Engineered by Rob Perkins at Rex Recording and Video Post

Dmae Roberts worked with four young people during one year to tell their personal struggles with mental health problems. The youth wrote their stories and recorded them at home with their familes using a mindisc recorder and stereo microphone.

This is a one-hour CD of stories with mental health information and the real stories of these youth, ages 15-21. To order this CD or a book of Sorting Through Shadows stories, see our gift section.
