Utah has the nation’s 5th highest rate of suicide. At a Tuesday panel, University of Utah professors will discuss how to get help.

A group of suicide experts will speak on a panel about anxiety and depression — how to recognize it and how to cope with it — at the University of Utah on Tuesday night.

“This is something that students and people in general can heal from,” said one of the panelists, Christina LeCluyse, a clinical social worker at the U.’s Counseling Center.

The discussion starts at 6 p.m. and will be held at the Carolyn and Kem Gardner Commons, 260 S. Central Campus Drive. The event is free and open to the public.

The panel will focus on how anxiety and depression affect different age groups and genders, where audience members can find resources and why they should try counseling, LeCluyse said.
