In addition to the mental health awareness special, we discussed with assistant professor of pediatrics at UT Southwestern Medical Center the importance of intervention and early diagnosis for children.

Depression, especially when left untreated, can be a significant drain on the American economy. Afterward, we discussed an overview of the prevalence of post-traumatic stress in the community.

This year, the catalog featured 25 local nonprofits, each with very specific needs.
