As part of the Safety and Security Campaign, we want to inform all families of a significant asset immediately available to you and your loved ones called the SafeUT app.
The SafeUT app provides a way to connect to licensed counselors ready to listen to any sized crisis or concern, or advise you how to work with a loved one going through a crisis.
Those in immediate need of aid can text 741741 or download the free app on their phone.
The SafeUT app acts as a crisis chat and tip line providing real-time crisis intervention for students, parents/guardians, and educators through live chat and a confidential tip line. Learn more at their website here, or download the app through the app store on your phone.
SafeUT also hosts two other apps: SafeUT Frontline and SafeUT National Guard for frontline workers and national guard members, offering more specialized care.
SafeUT Frontline, to quote their site, “The SafeUT Frontline app provides a way for Utah’s law enforcement, fire/EMS, health care providers, and their families to confidentially connect to licensed mental health professionals trained to understand the unique challenges frontline workers face daily. Counselors are available 24/7 to listen, support, and provide essential resources.”
SafeUT National Guard, their third app, “provides a way for Utah Air and Army National Guard members, civilian personnel, and their families to connect to licensed mental health professionals trained to understand the unique challenges you face daily.”
