Hosted by Dr. Jay Fawver, MATTERS OF THE MIND offers viewers the chance to interact with one of
this area's most respected mental health experts.

As a regular guest on PBS39’s HEALTHLINE program over ten years ago, Jay’s comfortable communication style was very well received by viewers. It was then a natural for him to host his own program.

He started as host of the series Modern Parenting and that evolved into MATTERS OF THE MIND, a frank and intimate live on-air discussion with viewers about mental health issues. Dr. Fawver’s ability to connect with viewers one on one has made MATTERS OF THE MIND one of the longest running and highest rated interactive programs on WFWA.
