ROAD TO A
BRIGHTER FUTURE
Mental Health America of Utah is a place where individuals and families can come for resources, support, and social connection.
WHAT WE DO
The mission of Mental Health America of Utah is to provide peer support, education and advocacy for individuals and families affected by mental illness.
As Peers, we seek to be a part of your support team by helping you find stability and reach your goals. Our Peers are trained to use their lived experience to support others facing similar challenges.
OUR SERVICES
Peer Support
We provide peer support services to all Utahns! We have a drop-in center located in Salt Lake City where we provide peer support and group activities. We also connect virtually to anyone in need throughout the State.
We also provide peer support to vulnerable and marginalized populations. We currently have a homeless peer support outreach program in Salt Lake County and we do outreach and peer support for individuals dealing with trauma from polygamy culture in Southern Utah.
Collectively We Choose To Change The Narrative
We are commonly referred to as the “mentally ill” or our diagnosis rather than our names. MHA UTAH believes that the presumption that we do not know what is in our own best interest consigns us to lives emptied of quality, vitality and dignity. community.
Respite Center
Are you experiencing a mental health crisis and need a safe, quiet place to stay for a few days? Stay at the Respite and work with our Peers to find support and stability, to develop your own Wellness Recovery Action Plan, Psychiatric Advanced Directive, and coping skills to help you progress in your recovery journey.
TESTIMONIAL
"I thank you all within all my heart for saving me. Literally my life was saved because of you all and the love you all had."
-- a Respite guest in June 2024
