Show 
The holidays are times when many of us put our health on the backburner.
People’s Health Magazine Show (PHMS) highlighted a few tips to
remember during the holidays.Medications are one of the most important things that need to have focus during the holidays. Shana Gaines, Pharmacy Technician at People’s Health Centers shared some information to hold onto during the holidays and all through the year. Next, the holidays can resort to leisure time for children who are on winter vacation, who can sometimes do things that should not be done. Some students at Long Middle School wrote and performed a skit to remind young people just how important it is to remain abstinent from sex, alcohol, and drugs. Joe Palm, host of PHMS, talked to some of the students and the health teacher, Mr. Ronald Walker about their take on abstinence. Finally, a problem that many of us face during the holidays is stress. Regina Askew, Social Worker at People’s Health Centers, shared a few tips as to how to help avoid stress during the holidays. Be sure to stay tuned for more health information. PHMS can also be seen on Charter Cable Channel 18 on Thursday evenings at 8:00 pm.

What's Up?   “What’s
Up?” is the hottest youth-focused reality talk show in
St. Louis. Topics of discussion range from communication with parents
to self-respect and the aftermath of youth violence. The goal is to
get into young people’s minds and get their perspectives on what’s
going on in their world today. Our third season’s first show was “Knock Knock: Do You Hear Your Kids Knocking?” We sat down with the “What’s Up?” crew and a couple of their parents and talked about how communication is between them and how it might improve. So many times we hear young people say that their parents don’t listen to them when they try to express their feelings. While the average parent doesn’t mean any harm, parents sometimes get caught up in trying to live vicariously through their children. In a recent focused group discussion with our crew, many of them cited examples of times when they had problems with their parents because they refused to listen to their feelings. They say their parents sometimes don’t allow them to make their own decisions in fear they’ll repeat the same mistakes their parents did. If you want to see what the “What’s Up?” crew is talking about these days, check for show times by clicking on the schedule and tune in to “What’s Up?”, because that’s what’s up! The “What’s Up?” show is sponsored by the St. Louis Mental Health Board. Go to: www.stlmhb.com for more information on the services funded by the organization. www.stlmhb.com

How's Your Mental Health?
Nearly two-thirds of all people with diagnosable mental disorders
do not seek treatment. When people understand that mental disorders
are not the result of moral failings or limited will power, but are
legitimate illnesses that are responsive to specific treatments, much
of the negative stereotyping might go away.
The St. Louis Mental Health Board (MHB) has teamed up with STL TV
to bring you “How’s YOUR Mental Health?”
(HYMH), a locally-based talk show series that deals with
issues you might be facing. HYMH answers your questions and lists
local places that could possibly offer you or your family the help
you need. |
