Taking a short break from satire to share something important my staff and I worked tirelessly on for the last several years -- addressing the devastating epidemic of suicide, particularly among teenagers.

Thanks to @AjitPaiFCC for making this a reality.

@AjitPaiFCC Over the last several years Utah has seen a devastating suicide trend develop, particularly among teens. We sat down with educators, lawmakers, healthcare professionals, and families of victims to discuss what small steps we might take to help.

@AjitPaiFCC Theres no simple solution to a problem so complicated and so devastating, but studies have shown that simplifying the national suicide hotline will have a real impact

I am thrilled to see this moving forward and I hope we can continue to think outside the box on solutions #utpol
