Utah has the 5th highest suicide rate in the nation. But suicide is preventable. Action Utah works on a range of evidence-based suicide prevention initiatives and policies. Our work opens doors for community members to play a key advocacy role to ensure Utah puts measures in place that will save lives.

Community advocacy is a critical component of suicide prevention in Utah to ensure that our elected officials hear from their constituents in a way that enables them to support life-saving policies.

We invite you to join our specialized Suicide Prevention Action Team to focus your advocacy on specific actions community members can take to support evidence-based suicide prevention initiatives such as:

• Mental health services
• Health care coverage
• Firearms safety programs
• Utah's red flag law
