Please welcome Kenneth Weene to my show. He is the author of Memoirs from the Asylum a novel that brings to light the issues of patient neglect, abuse and more. Please join me as I ask our author to tell about his background and his real life experiences working in the field of mental health and why he wrote this outstanding novel. Please join in the discussion and call into the chat room and let everyone’s voices be heard to help these people who cannot speak for themselves. My assistant for this show will be Jennifer Walker.
