The Backstory: 72-hour multimedia project will explore mental health crisis in San Diego County

Union-Tribune topics editor Tarcy Connors, managing editor Lora Cicalo, and editor and publisher Jeff Light discuss an upcoming Union-Tribune multimedia project exploring the status of mental health in San Diego County. Mental health intersects with so many issues: homelessness, policing, criminal justice, the workplace, schooling and health care. A lot of people know on a basic level that we need to be doing more to assist those who are struggling with mental health, but to have that conversation, we all need to understand where our system is now.
