Working With Partners
Huntsman Mental Health Institute is committed to community near and far. We work with partners across the state to address access and care, awareness, and to monitor the mental health needs of Utah and beyond.
Local Connections
We partner with local stakeholders on community and statewide coalitions, councils, and other collaborative partnerships such as Autism Council of Utah, Utah Suicide Prevention Coalition, the Utah Crisis Coalition, and Utah HOME Program, and many others to address barriers to mental health and improve outcomes for Utahns struggling with a mental health challenge or crisis.
We foster partnerships with state and community-based organizations such as the Utah Department of Human Services, Salt Lake County Behavioral Health, the Utah Hospital Association, and Utah Health and Human Rights among others to engage the community in mental health education, research, and connect people to services.
Partnership & Collaboration
Collaboration with community partners enables us to reach racially and ethnically diverse groups, those who live in geographically rural areas, and those for whom socioeconomic circumstances, financial obstacles, and cultural barriers have prevented seeking education, mental health services, and treatment.
We are always looking to form and build new relationships with:
- Businesses
- Community-based organizations and coalitions
- Faith-based organizations
- Health advocates
- Hospitals and health care systems
- Nonprofit organizations
- Schools, colleges, and universities
