When thoughts of not wanting to be here take hold, it can feel like there's no way through. There is. These thoughts are a signal of pain that deserves care, not a verdict about your future, and help is available right now.
If you or someone you love is in immediate danger, call 911. To reach a trained, caring counselor any time, call or text 988, the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, free and confidential, day or night. You can also reach our office at (435) 879-7411 to talk about getting care. You are not alone, and things can get better.
Suicidal thoughts are more common than most people realize, and they don't mean something is permanently wrong with you. They're a sign of pain that has become overwhelming, and that pain can be treated. Reaching out, to a crisis line, a loved one, or our team, is a strong and important step.
For ongoing care, our psychiatric team provides compassionate, timely support to help you stabilize and find relief. That can include prompt psychiatric evaluation, medication, rapid-acting treatments, and connection to a higher level of care when it's needed. The goal is simple: to help you feel safe, supported, and hopeful again.
You don't have to be in immediate danger to deserve support.
Our team offers timely, supportive care and connects you to more help when needed.
