Mental Health in the Media

Lost Patients

Navigating mental health care in Washington

In a new podcast called “Lost Patients,” launching next Tuesday, journalists from The Seattle Times and KUOW investigate why mental health care in Washington is the way it is, and what we might do to improve it. 

 

The 6-part series, hosted and reported by Will James at KUOW with Seattle Times investigative reporter Sydney Brownstone and former Seattle Times Mental Health Project reporter Esmy Jimenez, examines the difficulties of treating serious mental illness through the lens of Seattle’s past, present and future.
