Brenda Harper and Kristi Paling discuss the Tennessee Suicide Prevention Network
In 1998, a Memphis psychiatrist began a campaign to focus on the prevention of suicide. That group would become the Tennessee Suicide Prevention Network. TSPN works across the state to reduce the stigma of suicide by providing facts, and debunking myths. By extension, the hope is the impact of suicide is decreased across our state. The Tennessee Suicide Prevention Network, and its Upper Cumberland group, are spending a lot of time currently examining teen suicide, and its alarming rise. Brenda Harper and Kristi Paling join us this week.

Caitlin Davis discusses the legacy of Alvin C York Today In The Upper Cumberland
Alvin Cullum York entered the world as the third of eleven children, born in a two room log cabin in Fentress County in 1887. His prominence would come after he left the Upper Cumberland, transported to the European theater during World War I. York found himself right in the middle of the deadliest battle of the war – the final stanza in the fall of 1918. His heroics came as part of a group that captured more than 130 prisoners in the face of overwhelming odds. York would return to Fentress County hailed as a hero. He used that billing, which he didn’t believe, to make this region better for the young men and women who would come after. The Alvin C. York story remains a source of pride for the Upper Cumberland, and an inspiration to learn through the state park that bares his name just outside of Jamestown. Alvin C. York State Historic Park’s Caitlin Davis joins us to discuss the legacy of Alvin C. York.

B.E.D.S. Teen Outreach Center’s John St.Clair discusses teen suicide prevention.
In the last decade, the teen suicide rate in the United State has almost doubled. Depression, self harm, and suicide rates are on the rise – especially among girls. For one Upper Cumberland resident, that rate increase was a surprise, and it came at an unbelievable personal cost. John St.Clair lost his son to suicide, but he turned it into a positive by creating McMinnville’s B.E.D.S. Teen Outreach Center.

WCTE’s Becky Magura discusses the changes in television in the last 10 years.
It started out as black and white, and the size of a greeting card. And now many people love to watch it on a device the size of a greeting card. It is television.

Television has evolved continually, but what we’ve seen in the last 10 years may be the biggest change of all. We continue our discussion with Becky Magura, she heads WCTE, but more than that, she serves as one of the national directors of public television. She is on the front line of the changing world of television.

Local professionals discuss the unique challenges of parenting in the modern age
There’s no more joyful, but maybe also more stressful part of the year for parents than the holidays. So many things to balance, so much to do. Maybe it’s a good chance for us to sit back and think about modern parenting – what challenges all parents face, common stressors, societal influences, the old ways versus modern techniques. Today we go inside parenting with three local people who work with kids daily. Now they too did not get the book on your kids, and how to raise them. But they do bring insight into how children, and the impact of our adult behaviors. Licensed professional counselor Chris Paugh is with us. As is Amy Profant, Tennessee Pathways Regional Coordinator, and Christy Bennett licensed clinical social worker.
