Screen shot of Shaftesbury Society presentation

A recent presentation at the John Locke Foundation’s Shaftesbury Society highlighted the work of the N.C. Child Fatality Task Force. The group combines people with expertise in suicide, opioid abuse, and other issues that lead to child fatalities to make suggestions on state law. 

EducationNC has reported extensively on the subject of youth suicide, captured in this series from October. Our reporting continues as laws related to youth suicide are introduced and make their way through the legislature. 

In the video below, Kella Hatcher, executive director of the N.C. Child Fatality Task Force, talks about the work of the group.
