When to Get Help

What Is a Crisis and How Do I Know if I’m in Crisis?

A “crisis” can mean something different to every person. These are all examples of things people contact us about when they are in a crisis:

Stress
Anxiety
Depression
Relationship struggles
Loss of a loved one
Thoughts of suicide

Other words for crisis could include struggle, feeling stuck, feeling anxious, or going through a hard time.

A crisis is something that can overwhelm you so that you can’t solve a problem. Our staff are here to help you figure out how to get through your problem. Whether it is you, a friend, or family member who is struggling, you are not alone.

I Don’t Feel Like I’m in a Crisis. Can I Still Use the Services?

Yes! Crisis can mean a lot of different things. You do not have to be in a crisis to call us. A lot of times people call to talk about something that’s been on their mind and they want another perspective.

We are also here to help if you are worried about a loved one or a friend who is struggling.

Mobile Crisis Outreach Teams (MCOT)

To find out how MCOT can support you, call 988.

The Utah Crisis Line sends out mobile crisis outreach teams (MCOT) in many areas throughout our state. MCOTs provide:

fast,
free,
face-to-face or virtual video response.

MCOT is for Utah residents who are having a mental health challenge.

Youth and adult services teams are available 24/7/365 and offer consultation and support to:

individuals,
families,
schools,
treatment providers, and
first responders.

We also provide follow-up services, like ongoing support. This includes referrals to health care providers and to mental health services in the community.

HMHI MCOT primarily provides care for people within Salt Lake County. Through the Utah Crisis Line dispatch, we work with other local mental health authorities across Utah. These other authorities also offer MCOT teams for a prompt response.

MCOT teams have both licensed clinicians who are highly trained and peer support specialists (also certified). Peer specialists:

have personal experience with past mental health or substance use challenges,
are in recovery after receiving treatment, and
can share their lived experience to provide empathy and hope.

When Should You Ask for an MCOT?

MCOT is there for you when you are feeling lost, alone, having a difficult time coping with life, or have concerns related to a loved one living with you. Our team will meet you where you’re at—whether that’s at home, at work, or anywhere in the community.

The team arrives in unmarked vehicles to support your privacy. We do our best to keep those that we serve out of the hospitals and in their communities.

NOTE: Due to COVID-19, we now offer virtual visit options.

Utah Warm Line

Often, individuals may need a listening ear as they heal and recover from their own personal struggles. Utah residents who need connection from others who have walked similar paths may call the Utah Warm Line for that support. The Warm Line is staffed 8am-11pm, 7 days a week, 365 days a year at no cost.

Our certified peer support specialists have received specialized training and have navigated mental health issues and/or substance abuse issues of their own. They are trained in providing hope and empowerment through the recovery model. This model instills a person-centered approach to recovery and healing. Certified peer specialists engage with the community through empathetic listening. Our specialists encourage callers to resolve problems by fostering dignity and self-respect and finding their inner strength to live healthy, independent lives. The Warm Line works closely with the Utah Crisis Line and the Mobile Crisis Outreach Team (MCOT) to ensure the best support is provided to you and your loved ones.
