Texas State of Mind is an initiative of The Meadows Mental Health Policy Institute.

The top local stories this morning from the KERA Newsroom: The Meadows Mental Health Policy Institute is traveling across the state to find out what’s being done for the more than half a million Texas adults who suffer from a mental illness. Also, Dallas Morning News movie critic and Big Screen co-anchor Chris Vognar talks about the most-buzzed about performances at the Toronto International Film Festival.

You can listen to the segment weekdays at 8:20 a.m. and 6:20 p.m. on 90.1 FM.
