Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
A girl poses in Kent County, Md. for the non-profit, Girls on the Run, an organization seeking to promote "self-respect and healthy living."
The mass-shooting at Virginia Tech in 2007 that left 33 dead, including the troubled gunman, brought to light myriad issues including gun control, campus safety and mental health. Virginia has struggled to reckon with the latter in the nearly ten years since, trying to provide access to care for those in need through support networks full of holes. We speak with the interim commissioner of the Virginia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services about the challenges and opportunities the Commonwealth faces.
