Utah governor assembles team to tackle surge in teen suicides

SALT LAKE CITY — Stakeholders throughout Utah joined forces Wednesday to tackle what Gov. Gary Herbert said is a "tender and difficult" issue that is quickly getting out of hand.
"We need to talk about it. We need to see if we can do something about it," Herbert said, referring to a growing surge in suicide, particularly among Utah teens. He said suicide has quickly become the leading cause of death for young people and it is past time to change that.
