PHA and NAMI host therapeutic songwriting workshop for youth

A program in Philadelphia is using music to help young adults to talk about mental health problems.

The idea comes from both the Philadelphia Housing Authority's Youth and Family Center and the National Alliance on Mental Illness Philadelphia.

WHYY's Eric Nixon visited their first songwriting workshop and has this report.
