This interview originally aired on In the Moment on SDPB Radio.

Researchers from Augustana University turned to their community to learn about mental health in our state's largest city.

They explored how Sioux Falls could move toward a more comprehensive plan so residents can find the help they need, when they need it.

The Beacom Research Fellows who wrote the report joined In the Moment to discuss their findings. Brianna Pitz is an Augustana alumna. Jose Cruz Medina graduates from Augstana this May.
