We had a great time with the Intermountain Risk Management Team this past week!

💚 While they were together for their team retreat, they spent some time helping us put together training materials for our NAMI volunteers.

We also got to share a little more about NAMI, talk about the work we do, and share the impact this community has had in our lives. We’re so grateful they chose to spend part of their day with us and learning more about what we do!

NAMI applauds the restoration of 988
"Press 3," bringing specialized crisis support back for LGBTQ+ youth and young adults.

After sustained advocacy - including more than 15,000 letters from NAMI advocates to Capitol Hill - this critical service is once again available.

NAMI will continue advocating to protect Press 3 and ensure LGBTQ+ youth can access the care and support they need.

Su***de Prevention Month may be wrapping up, but the conversation can't stop here. 💚

Our own Benee Larsen, Su***de Prevention Coordinator at NAMI Utah, joined FOX 13's The PLACE with Live On Utah to talk about something we all need to hear: many people experience thoughts of su***de, and most go on to live healthy, fulfilling lives. There is hope, and help works.

A few ways you can make a difference:
✅ Notice when something seems "off" and ask if they're okay
✅ Ask directly about su***de. Asking does not put the idea in someone's head
✅ Listen without judgment and check in regularly
✅ Offer to help safely store fi****ms, medications, and alcohol during a hard time
✅ Never promise secrecy. Bring in trusted people and professionals

Live On Utah is a statewide effort to prevent su***de by promoting education, providing resources, and changing our culture around su***de and mental health.
