In the second half of the podcast, I am always joined by Cyndy Schalter from Turning Point Macomb. This week we tackle a variety of topics as usual. The holiday season is a joyous time for most, but how to you make everyone feel included? Each family is unique and Cyndy breaks down ways to make everyone feel like they belong in your home or at your holiday dinner table.

How modern families are celebrating their diversity during the holidays

It's important for diverse families to celebrate diversity during the holidays. "It conveys to those individuals that they are valued and they are important," says one expert.

Cyndy and I also discuss the rape culture and how one school got themselves in hot water for showing a “consent” video that didn’t sit well with parents.

Realistic video about sexual consent shown to high school seniors upsets some parents and school staff

Safe Place and Rape Crisis Center (SPARCC) has been working with the Sarasota School District to teach students about healthy relationships for more than 15 years. One of their sessions took place Nov. 7 at Pine View School, and apparently it left some parents and staff confused and concerned.

And finally, what is a psychiatric hold? Could it be used to prevent people with mental issues from committing crimes? The latest involving a Hollywood celebrity has raised this question.

Heather Locklear was reportedly placed on psychiatric hold: What does that mean, exactly?

Actress Heather Locklear has been placed on psychiatric hold after her therapist reportedly determined that she was having a mental breakdown.

Turning Point is ALWAYS here to help!!!!!!
