Youth Mental Health in Crisis, Nevada's Nuclear Future and Can Salad Make a Comeback?
from City Cast Las Vegas · host City Cast
Nevada ranks dead last in the nation for youth mental health access. We break down why Southern Nevada's kids are struggling to find care and what needs to change. Then, Nevada's decades-long fight against Yucca Mountain may finally be nearing its end, as Sen. Jacky Rosen introduces a bill to repeal the 1987 law that made it the nation's only designated nuclear waste site. Finally, Salad and Go just closed all its Las Vegas locations, so we ask the question nobody asked for but everyone needed: what would it actually take to make salad cool again in Las Vegas? Host Jesse Merrick breaks it all down with News from the Margin founder Naoka Foreman and NPR Mountain West News Bureau regional reporter Yvette Fernandez. If you or anyone you know is struggling with thoughts of suicide, you can always call the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988. There's help available 24 hours a day.
