If you or someone you know needs help, you can dial 988 to reach the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline.

If you live in Utah, it will route you to the Utah Crisis Line, staffed by certified crisis workers at the Huntsman Mental Health Institute. The call is free and confidential, and you can reach someone at any time of day.
