In health care, we have a unique opportunity to intervene and provide support to individuals struggling with suicidal thoughts. Through the implementation of evidence-based identification, risk stratification, prevention processes, and by creating a culture in which suicide prevention is woven into the fabric of the health care system, we can help prevention suicide deaths. 

University of Utah Health has embraced this challenge through the development of the Zero Suicide Program. Tasked with the implementation of the seven elements of the evidence based Zero Suicide Framework, our system strives toward the aspirational goal of zero suicides. We have committed to system-wide change focused on developing a culture that values comprehensive, integrated and evidence-based care for individuals struggling with suicide. 

The University of Utah Health Zero Suicide Program is not a patient facing clinical program. For behavioral health clinical resources available within the University of Utah Health system, please visit Huntsman Mental Health Programs & Services.
