In an effort to lower the state’s persistently high suicide rate, Utah lawmakers passed a slate of bills that increase access to mental health services, limit firearm access for people in crisis and boost prevention programs.
The legislation comes at a time when many mental health advocates say the pandemic has laid bare the vast amount of need.
“COVID has revealed how problematic it is for a lot of people struggling with mental health issues,” said Rep. Brian King, D-Salt Lake City.
Utah has one of the highest suicide rates in the nation. And while a Utah Department of Health report recently indicated there was no initial evidence that social distancing and stay-at-home orders had led an increase in distress among Utahns in 2020, advocates say that doesn’t mean social isolation and economic uncertainty hasn’t had an impact on the state’s residents.
