October is World Mental Health Month

NEWisco Weekend celebrates with an issue that tackles finding your joy and addiction recovery.

Teri Barr sits down with “joy expert” Kira Sabin to find out how to ditch your negative thoughts, and why it’s so important to take time to protect your mental health.

Commentator Amanda Nimmer examines how women were often labeled as hysterical in the 1800s. Pete Schwaba brings us a classic movie pick, and we round out the issue with stories on storing recreational equipment, train derailments, and more! All this week on NEWisco Weekend.
