On this West Virginia Morning, National Save A Life day began in West Virginia, but organizers say some people are reluctant to pick up the free, easy-to-use naloxone kits that could someday help someone in need due to stigma.

Also community and conservation groups are asking West Virginia courts to make sure their challenges to an air permit are properly reviewed, and a second climber dies near Seneca Rocks.
West Virginia Morning is a production of West Virginia Public Broadcasting, which is solely responsible for its content.
Support for our news bureaus comes from Shepherd University and Marshall University School of Journalism and Mass Communications.
