Mind Matters examines the mental health challenges facing individuals and families across Western PA — and a guide to the resources, experts, and solutions that can help.

This landmark four-part news series paired with four free community town hall events will be reported by WESA Health & Science Reporter Kiley Koscinski and edited by Glynis Board.
