Minds on the Edge: Facing Mental Illness

“Minds on the Edge” is a fascinating televised roundtable discussion about America’s ragged behavioral health system.

 It shows well-known advocates, judges, researchers and practitioners working through a case study in the style of the Fred Friendly Seminars.

In June, WHYY was the site of the first public screening of the program. That was followed by a civic dialogue that used the program as a springboard to discuss the Philadelphia-area behavioral health picture. More than 100 stakeholders from the region took part, including top state and county officials in the field. The conversation now continues online.
