In this podcast, Dr. Mathis mixes music history and trivia with hints on attempting to intervene with persons who obviously need assistance, but may be unaware and/or unwilling to accept help or even to give any credence to the advice proposed by a concerned party. While some of the suggestions are similar with friends and family members, there are a few subtle differences that will be pointed out when trying to assist persons who might be reluctant (if not outright hostile) towards accepting assistance from well-intentioned friends and/or family members.
