So now what? We know there is a need for connectedness, but what more can we do? We have some intervention ideas in the making but would love your opinion. What would you like to see changed in the community and school? #CPAggies #SuicidePrevention #SuicideInUtah

Lack of family support and cohesion was another big factor for teens who struggle with suicide. Today, text a family member you haven’t talked to recently. Brighten their day! #CPAggies #SuicidePrevention #SuicideInUtah

We talked with many stakeholders in our community and they all reported a major key in the high rate of suicide is a lack of connectedness. Try not to touch your phone for the next hour and see what difference it makes. #CPAggies #SuicidePrevention #SuicideInUtah

A3. Government rules and regulations can benefit all parties to a certain extent, but too much involvement can hurt captiralist ideals while supporting socialist ideals. #MacroSW

A2. Inequality becomes a problem when it starts causing discord in the community. #MacroSW

A1. The rich are becoming richer and the poor are staying where they are at. The rich are able to benefit off of investments because they have disposable income and while both benefit from a rich economy the rich benefit at a faster rate. #MacroSW

Did you know that in the state of Utah, suicide serves as the number one cause of death among Utah children ages 10-17 and that Utah has the 5th highest ranking of suicide for youth in the nation? See more fact at https://t.co/xemeDB4JIj #CPAggies#SuicidePrevention#SuicideInUtah

As a school assignment we completed a strength and needs assessment in Logan, UT to learn more about teen suicide. Keep following the next few days to learn some results that surprised us all. #CPAggies #SuicidePrevention #SuicideInUtah

Not to minimize the coldness the rest of the US is facing. It's just that I am from Texas so 15 degrees is pretty cold for me!

A2: One idea I have to recruit community members is to have community events. The challenging part of that is knowing what type of events to put on though and making sure you get the word out and get people interested.

A1: I think it’s important to understand what the community members think is needed.
