Dealing with Life’s Transitions
From starting a family, to watching children leave the nest, to deciding what’s best for aging parents and ourselves – our lives are full of important and necessary transitions.
Join Dr. Dan Gottlieb, host of Voices in the Family, for a thoughtful discussion on transitioning through life stages. We’ll also look at pivotal moments in the shows over the years and how they have shaped our changing views and self-awareness. After three decades of broadcasting his radio program on behavioral health and well-being on WHYY-FM, Dr. Dan will have a frank conversation with producer Maiken Scott on what his own future holds.
Questions and comments from the audience are welcomed and encouraged.
This event will be taped for broadcast at a later date.

I am not able to attend the upcoming 30th anniversary event. However, as a long time listener to “Voices in the Family” I wish to express how much I appreciate Dan’s show. I believe Philadelphia has something very special in Dr. Gottlieb, a one of a kind person. I say this for several reasons. First, I am continually impressed by the depth and breadth of Dr. Gottlieb’s knowledge. I say this as a mental health professional myself. Dr. Gottlieb can discuss almost any topic with almost any guest or caller with sensitivity and a strong knowledge base that I think is uncommon. Second, Dan does not appear to have an online persona but seems to be “the real deal.” We are all trying to figure out how to overcome the sigma surrounding mental health issues. Dan’s person to person approach that does not erect a professional wall, an us and them mentality, I believe is a large part of the solution. Dan holds honest conversations free of teaching and preaching. Lastly, over the years I feel like I have a good idea of how he comes down on different schools of thought within the field not because he has broadcasted his beliefs but they are embedded in his personal, humanistic approach. There is an internal consistency to his views that inspires trust. As you can see I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Gottlieb and Voices in the Family. I believe Philadelphia truly has a great gift in Dan and his show. He and his show are irreplaceable. Thanks Dr. Gottlieb for such an extraordinary show and thanks WHYY for broadcasting it. My last comment–It is valuable to me to hear from a multigenerational staff. I want to hear the views and the work of people of all age groups. Barbara
