Additionally, the receiving centers will allow law enforcement officers to bring those having a mental health crisis to a safe place where professional help is available. The Receiving Center will serve the community of Salt Lake County until the new Kem and Carolyn Gardner Mental �����г���Ƶ Crisis Care Center opens in 2025.

“We appreciate the community’s patience during the construction phase, while we worked to expand capacity (from 6 to 12 beds) and services for a more comprehensive assessment of those dealing with a mental health crisis, in a safe and compassionate environment with a team of caring experts. We thank Salt Lake County and Mayor Jenny Wilson for their generous support of this project”, said Ross VanVranken, Executive Director of HMHI. 

Mental health crisis care and support is available 24/7 at HMHI, located at 501 Chipeta Way on the �����г���Ƶ of Utah campus. For more information, visit HMHI.utah.edu.  Get help with crisis response, suicide prevention, and emotional support by calling 1-800-587-3000 or dial 988.
