Inside Appalachia’s Bill Lynch spoke with Seth Young about the center’s mission and its plans to bring more high school juniors and seniors to its summer workshops – for free.

Also, in this show, the opioid overdose drug naloxone nasal spray will soon be available to purchase over the counter. But there are concerns. Appalachia Health news Reporter Emily Rice has more.
