WHERE DO YOU GO WHEN YOU NEED URGENT MENTAL HEALTH CARE?


In moments of panic, anxiety, suicidal ideation, or overwhelming thoughts, the emergency room isn't always the best solution, but where do you go?

The answer is the Kem & Carolyn Gardner Mental Health Crisis Care Center in South Salt Lake.


WHAT IS THE CRISIS CARE CENTER?

A first-of-its-kind model of crisis care that stabilizes lives, eases the burden on emergency rooms, and connects people to lasting support and resources. Built around the “no wrong door” philosophy, where people can walk in for care at any time, regardless of their ability to pay.


Providing guests with:

    • 24/7 walk-in crisis care
    • Same-day support
    • Stabilization and observation services
    • Connection to ongoing treatment and community resources


YOUR GIFT MAKES AN IMMEDIATE IMPACT

With Utah averaging 670 suicides and 5,500 suicide attempts each year, the need for easily accessible support and care is more urgent than ever before.

Your donation helps ensure that adults in our community have immediate access to compassionate, specialized mental health care they deserve when they need it most.
