212 Jan Canti - The Hidden Realities of Homicide’s Aftermath

A native Detroiter, Dr. Canty, is a psychologist, writer, photographer, educator, consultant and cancer survivor. She holds a terminal degree in psychology as well as a post-doctoral fellowship from the Wayne State University School of Medicine.  Then life happened. And grew dark. Her husband of 11 years went missing and was found murdered two weeks later.   After the dismemberment of her husband in 1985, the media frenzy caused her to leave Michigan and start over.  She did not speak of her loss for 30 years.  
Dr. Canty became an unintentional expert in the field of homicide survivors.  Nothing in her background, nothing in the media nor books could have prepared her for the decades-long process she was about to enter.

3 top tips for my audience:
1.   Ask yourself what messages pop culture portrays about homicide (in music, TV, movies and merchandise like the “Cereal Killer spoon” and games). 
2.   As a friend or neighbour learn what you can do to help someone who has lost someone close to them from intentional death
3.   Know this is an equal-opportunity club.  Homicide reaches the old, young, educated, illiterate, urban, rural, men, women, rich, poor, all races and all walks of life.
