Reporter Roundup: Mental Health Issues & COVID-19

On the April 23 edition of the Reporter Roundup, KPCC reporters discuss rising mental health issues among Los Angeles residents, a drop in essential healthcare services and more help for the homeless.

The City of Los Angeles may enter into a judicial consent decree on homelessness and KPCC’s Matt Tinoco has the latest details.

KPCC’s Robert Garrova reports on a study out today that looks at the mental health toll the coronavirus is having on Angelenos.

Essential healthcare procedures are being put off by some people out of fear of the pandemic, according to KPCC’s Elly Yu, who reports the trend is concerning physicians.
