b'This holiday season there will be too many family gatherings with an empty chair or two because of Covid or Philadelphia\\u2019s record gun violence deaths. Just one of the many factors impacting our mental health. I speak with Dr. Jill Bowen, Philadelphia Commissioner of the Department of Behavioral Health and Intellectually DisAbility Services about their \\u201cBoost Your Mood\\u201d which offers access to free services and supports for mental health.

The nation was riveted by the tragic case of Gabby Petito, the young Instagram Travel influence who went missing then was found murdered by her fianc\\xe9. The case was solved thanks to massive news and social media coverage of the story and the hard work of law enforcement. Gabby\\u2019s family were able to bring their daughter home \\u2013 but what about the thousands of black and brown men, women and children who go missing. I spoke to Geeta Gandbhir, and Samantha Knowles, two of the directors of the HBO documentary series \\u201cBlack and Missing\\u201d which follows sisters-in-law and Black and Missing Foundation founders Derrica and Natalie Wilson as they fight an uphill battle to bring awareness to the Black missing persons cases that are marginalized by law enforcement and national media.
