Checking In At The Legislature: August & September 2022 Update
Friends and Neighbors,
As a new school year has started, it’s important to help our children and loved ones have resources for mental health and help prevent suicides. I serve as the Chair of the Education and Mental Health Council. In this role, we work to improve mental health in our children from birth to 26. I also serve on the Behavioral Health Crisis Response Commission. This commission focuses on “receiving centers” throughout the state for those needing immediate crisis care. Utah has multiple resources for crisis, violence/safety, and suicide prevention. I hope the resources listed below will be helpful for you and those around you.
The election is right around the corner. Thanks to SO MANY of you who helped me win the Primary election. Thank you for hosting my sign, for your support, and thank you for your VOTES!
-Melissa
