How I coped with losing my schizophrenic son );
);
A MOTHER whose son died after being diagnosed with schizophrenia has shared his story in a book to help others affected by mental illness.
Gill Mann, a former trustee of the Riverside Counselling Service in Henley, will donate proceeds from sales of
A Song Inside to the charity as well as national charities Rethink and Sane.
The book tells how her 22-year-old son Sam Roberts became increasingly ill in his late teens and was hospitalised three times because he could no longer look after himself.
He struggled to cope with his medication, which had unpleasant side effects.
Moderator Emily Bazelon, staff writer,
New York Times Magazine, is joined by Alicia Bannon, managing director, Democracy Program, Brennan Center for Justice; Aaron Tang, professor of law, University of California, Davis School of Law; and Franita Tolson, vice dean for faculty and academic affairs and professor of law at the University of Southern California Gould School of Law to look at the Supreme Court, its history, construct, and role to interpret the Constitution and dispense justice equally above the churn of politics.
Politics, however, has never been far from the Court. Now, as in other historical moments, the character of SCOTUS is being challenged. There is growing momentum behind a broader push to ensure fair representation for the nation’s larger and more diverse electorate across all branches of government, including the Court. Are there dangers in changing traditions of the highest court, or has the time for reform arrived?

“It was pretty unbelievable. That whole day in general,” McIntyre said. “It’s like ‘okay, we’re doing this. This is great.’ And then seeing the weather happen. I remember there was a particular moment I was walking past the arena, the fans have to get evacuated. And I’m looking out, it’s pouring down and I was like ‘you’ve got to be kidding me.’ Someone stuck a mic in my face and was like ‘how do you feel?’ and I was like ‘I feel this has something to do with me fighting for the title! Last year it was fighting for a title in a world wide pandemic, this year we’re going to get rained out.’
As JUNO-nominated artist Kandle Osborne creates sparks ahead of her new album, Set The Fire (out on May 28), she reflects on the beginning of the process with her single, No Good. Recorded just before the pandemic took hold of the world, Kandle gathered around a mic with her musical cohort The Wiccs to create a timeless piece with heartfelt and cheeky lyrics of self-realization through a filter of brass arrangements, 60s flavour, and groove-centric rhythms for a fresh summer jam. In addition, Kandle kicks off her Garden Sessions with the song - an open-air series with Kandle, Debra-Jean Creelman and Kendel Carson performing acoustic renditions of Set The Fire s standout tunes.
