CELEBRATE CHILDREN: RON DAYNE SPEAKS OUT IN SUPPORT





GUESTS: Jim Leonhart, President, Celebrate Children Foundation

             Ron Dayne, Celebrate Children Spokesperson/Supporter

The Celebrate Children Foundation is helping build the best child care programs for children from birth to age five in communities across Wisconsin.

"Almost three quarters of Wisconsin kids attend child care centers and preschools while their parents work," states Jim Leonhart, Foundation President. "Research shows brain development is so rapid during the preschool years that high quality child care and education can be tied directly to kindergarten readiness, better high school graduation rates and ultimately, the quality of our future workforce and economy."

Jim Leonhart is joined by former Badger and Heisman Trophy winner Ron Dayne, 2012 Champion for Children, who also shares his thoughts about the Rose Bowl! To learn more about becoming a Champion for Children, go to www.celebrate-children.org.

DEPRESSION: NOT TO BE IGNORED


 

Guest:  Jerry Halverson, MD, adult psychiatrist and Medical Director for Adult Services, Rogers Memorial Hospital

Are your sadness, anger, fatigue, negative feelings just moments we all go through at one time or another, or are they symptoms of depression? Depression can change or distort the way you see yourself, your life, and those around you. It is also a disease that can be treated and should not be ignored.

Dr. Jerry Halverson shines new light on depression, what the causes are, and how people with depression and/or anxiety orders can overcome this debilitating disease and live full, productive lives.
