988 & the Utah Crisis Line
24/7 free and confidential crisis help and support in association with the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline.
988 is the primary number that directly routes callers in need to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline network and Utah's integrated crisis response system staff by certified crisis workers at Hunstman Mental Health Institute.
Callers to 988 have the option to select the Veterans Crisis Line or the Spanish Language Crisis Line. If the caller with a Utah area code does not select either of those options, they are routed to the Utah Crisis Line. If after three minutes, the call is unanswered, the caller is routed to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (NSPL) backup affiliate network.
Callers connect to the Utah Crisis Line receive specialized, individualized, compassionate support from certified crisis workers trained in suicide prevention, de-escalation, and stabilization, and get connected to mental health resources. The Utah Crisis Line continues to work closely with the Mobile Crisis Outreach Teams (MCOT) across the state to support in-person crisis intervention.
The existing Utah Crisis line phone numbers (1 (800) 273-8255 and (801) 587-3000 local) remain available to people in emotional distress or suicidal crisis.
