Marginalisation, Mental Health And Making A Difference feat. Dr. Heath Schechinger

We chat to Dr. Heath Schechinger about the need for research into non-monogamy and how the current lack of insight into the non-monogamous experience impacts our families, workplaces and health care. Luckily, Heath is working alongside individuals and groups that are dedicated to researching alternative family structures and relationships and he shares with us some incredibly interesting and insightful data.

But first, Siobhan and Rich discuss an exciting breaking news story and to finish, Question Of The Week makes a come back.

We can't thank Dr. Heath enough for coming on the show. You can find him and his offerings at his website. He's a Co-Founder of the Modern Family Institute and is currently fundraising to establish a unique institute at UC Berkeley dedicated to the study of family and relationship diversity.
