Outbeat Youth airs next on Sunday, August 22, 2010 at 8PM (PST) only on KRCB Radio FM 91 streaming at www.krcb.org. This month members of the Sonoma County Peer Outreach Coalition join us to talk about their work in promoting mental health online. While this program is located in Sonoma County, anyone with access to the Internet is welcome to learn more about substance abuse, depression, sexuality, physical health, and much more. One of the major goals of this group is to support LGBT youth.

We will also be talking about our special "National Coming Out Day" show that will air on Monday, October 11, 2010. We are giving the mic to anyone who wants to come out or to share their coming out story with the world. You can share your truth for the first time or to a special group of people in your life. We invite you to share your coming out story with the hope of inspiring others to leave the closet and to start living their lives in the truth. We can record your coming out ahead of time or arrange for you to be on the show live in person or by telephone. For more information on how to be part of this special show, email greg@outbeatyouth.com

Remember, you can listen and download our shows on our website or from iTunes. Follow us all month long on Facebook, MySpace, or Twitter. Links are available on our website at www.outbeatyouth.com.

Did you know members of the LGBT community use social networking sites more than their straight peers? On the next edition of Outbeat Youth, we are going to explore how to use social networking sites while maintaining safety and privacy. According to a recent Harris Poll, 73% of LGBT people surveyed use Facebook. We will provide listeners with a step-by-step lesson on how to set Facebook's privacy settings so that your safety and privacy will be maintained while using this social networking tool.
