“For the state of Utah in the last year we actually did not have an increase in suicide deaths,” Graham said. “The stigma about talking about suicide, that stigma in my perception at least here at Utah Valley University is decreasing….people are talking about suicide. Students are reaching out. Helping their friends, their peers, faculty members, staff are reaching out. Often times we do crisis response work and support people.”
