SALT LAKE CITY – It s no secret this pandemic has taken a toll on our mental health. But what does that impact look like for children?
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported the number of children and teens seeking help for anxiety and depression is rising across the country. The study found mental health-related ER visits increased by 31% last year.
The Vega family said their 14-year-old daughter now makes up part of that statistic attempting to take her own life two weeks ago.
Family in crisis If somebody you love tries to take their life, you feel like failure. And you question everything you did. Like, Did I do too much? Did I not do enough? And it s scary to be open about it, said mother Brandy Vega.

SALT LAKE CITY A Utah lawmaker wants to allow people experiencing a crisis to sign up for a list that would bar them from buying a gun from a retail store for a limited period of time.
Bill sponsor Rep. Steve Eliason, R-Sandy, emphasized HB267 is not a so-called red-flag law, a type of law that allows close family members to request law enforcement to remove guns from those considered at-risk.
He sees the bill instead impacting, for example, someone discharged from the hospital after a suicide attempt. While they re in a better state of mind, they can say, You know what, I m going to let a friend hold my firearms until I get feeling better, and I don t want to be able to, in a moment of weakness, purchase a firearm. So they could then put their name on that list, Eliason explained.
WITH so many of us suffering mentally due to the ongoing impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, today’s annual ‘Time to Talk Day’ is perhaps even more crucial in the current climate. Conversations about mental health will be happening nationwide today as part of the social movement organised by Time to Change to end the stigma surrounding speaking out about your problems and asking for help. In a bid to use our platforms in a positive light, our newsroom and sister titles across the UK are promoting awareness of positive mental health. Social media is now too often used to spread hate, negativity and as a tool for trolling or bullying – and sadly during lockdown this does appear to have only got worse in many cases.
