The 988 Lifeline
988 is now active across the United States. This new, shorter phone number will make it easier for people to remember and access mental health crisis services. (Please note, the previous 1-800-273-TALK (8255) number will continue to function indefinitely.)
Live On is a statewide effort to bring Utahns together in support of their loved ones. Whether you are struggling with thoughts of suicide, trying to help someone through their thoughts of suicide, or striving to find meaning after the death of a loved one, we can all get through, reach out, lift up, look ahead and Live On.
