October 10th is World Mental Health Day. So, what better time for the 2nd Annual WFPK Mental Health Day broadcast! We've invited some experts and advocates to tell us how to support ourselves, friends and family who are living with a mental illness and how to remove the stigma around discussing mental health issues. We'd like to hear from you as well. Call 502-814-6560 and tell us about a song that's helped you deal with depression, dedicate a request in honor of a loved one or anything else you'd like to share. We may just use your comments and song suggestions on the air, October 10th
