​A presentation & live discussion with Douglas Fischer and Kristina Marusic of Environmental Health News on the mental health impacts of oil & gas industry.

​The Allegheny Front and Environmental Health News investigated the mental health impacts of air and water pollution and climate change in western Pennsylvania.

​Reporting also uncovered the growing gap in mental health care as more people are traumatized by worsening climate change.
