First hour: The impact of divorce on children

Second hour: Rochester's identity as an art and preservation town

On the same day that a wedding photo went viral showing a father inviting a stepfather to walk their daughter down the aisle, hundreds of kids were in emergency rooms, hurting over the strife between their divorced parents. We're going to dig into the research that shows just how dangerous divorce can be for kids -- if the parents can't make an effort to get along. And we'll hear stories from professionals who see the impact on a near-daily basis. In studio:

Dr. Elizabeth Murray, Physician with REACH at the Bivona Child Advocacy Center and a spokesperson for the American Academy of Pediatrics
Dr. Joanne Pedro-Carroll, clinical psychologist who specializes in helping children through divorce
Ella Van Loon, attorney who primarily represents children in Supreme and Family Courts

Then, is Rochester an arts town... that doesn't buy art? Are we a town filled with preservationists at heart... who don't know much about our history? These are uncomfortable but important questions. We'll explore them, and we'll get a look at an upcoming event with art and preservation at its core. In studio:

Caitlin Meives, preservation planner with the Landmark Society of Western New York
Erich Lehman, Gallery 1975
Jason Barber, photographer and artist
