Many Nevadans are struggling when it comes to mental health. Death by suicide rates are up for ages 18-24, and for those over 65. The 988 system is designed as a lifeline for people in crisis, and it has been in place for nearly a year. Nevada Week checks in on how this rollout is going in our state. Plus, a panel of experts weigh in on mental health issues Nevadans struggle with.
