SafeUT is a vital mental health and crisis intervention program dedicated to supporting youth and their communities in Utah. Launched in 2016, the SafeUT app offers an accessible platform for students to chat anonymously with licensed counselors or submit safety tips, addressing urgent mental health crises and school safety concerns. The program has successfully engaged over 1.1 million chat messages in fiscal year 2023 alone and initiated lifesaving interventions nearly daily, demonstrating its profound impact.

In addition to individual support, SafeUT actively participates in community outreach, providing marketing materials and attending events to raise awareness about mental health and safety. The initiative invites partnerships with organizations and encourages community participation through donations to enhance its outreach efforts. SafeUT’s services have expanded beyond middle and high schools to include elementary schools, higher education institutions, and first responders, ensuring comprehensive support for mental health across various demographics. Their commitment to safety and well-being underscores the urgent need for mental health resources in Utah.
