Meg Kissinger spent more than two decades traveling across the country to report on America鈥檚 mental health system for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. A Pulitzer Prize finalist, she has won dozens of accolades, including two George Polk Awards, the Robert F. Kennedy Award, awards from Investigative Reporters and Editors, and two National Journalism Awards. Kissinger teaches investigative reporting at Columbia University鈥檚 Graduate School of Journalism and was a visiting professor at DePauw University, her alma mater. Her stories on the abysmal living conditions for people with mental illness inspired changes to Wisconsin law and led to the creation of hundreds of new housing units. She lives in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, with her husband.

Quotes by Meg Kissinger  (?)
Quotes are added by the 欧宝娱乐 community and are not verified by 欧宝娱乐.

“Trauma does that to you. It steals your memory. I either couldn鈥檛 or didn鈥檛 let myself remember her or talk about her.”
Meg Kissinger, While You Were Out: An Intimate Family Portrait of Mental Illness in an Era of Silence

“But I was learning that you can鈥檛 fast-forward through grief or read a CliffsNotes version of your life and expect to make peace with it.”
Meg Kissinger, While You Were Out: An Intimate Family Portrait of Mental Illness in an Era of Silence

“the easier I understood that two seemingly contradictory truths can exist simultaneously. My parents could be warm and loving but also reckless and flawed. Our family life could have been happy despite the tragedies.”
