“Whether someone is struggling with bullying, has concerns about a threat they saw on social media, or is dealing with thoughts of suicide, SafeUT counselors are there day and night to offer compassionate support and immediately respond to any safety concerns. We’re grateful to partner with school districts and higher education institutions, public safety personnel, parents, legislators, and so many others who have helped SafeUT make a positive impact.”

“SafeUT gives people a fighting chance to survive their darkest moments. Over a thousand Utahns are alive today because of SafeUT. You probably know some of them,” says Ric Cantrell, SafeUT Commission Chair.

“Thank you to the pioneers who joined forces to build this initiative, the gifted teams that make it work, and to each person who reached out when it mattered. All of our lives are richer because of you.”
