The Connections That Save Lives: What Utah’s New Teen Suicide Study Reveals

from KSL News Daily

 A groundbreaking five-year study from the Utah Department of Health and Human Services is shedding new light on teen suicide and the factors that put young people at risk. On this episode of KSL News Daily, Maria Shilaos sits down with the researchers behind the report to discuss the powerful role abuse, family support, treatment and social connections play in preventing tragedy. They also share practical ways parents, friends, and communities can help make a difference. And... the Utah Highway Patrol is cracking down on a driving habit that sparks plenty of frustration: left-lane loafing.   Plus, the three things you need to know today: Former death row inmate Douglas Carter returns to court for a key bond hearing and new legal arguments in his retrial. The Timpanogos School District is considering closing several schools. And a Farmington family is warning others after rare soft tick bites sent family members to the hospital.
