As Real Salt Lake and Utah Royals FC honor Mental Health Awareness Month, the Club encourages all fans, staff, and players to remember that they are never alone. Reaching out for support is a sign of strength.
Together with our partner Intermountain Health, here’s how we're working to support mental wellness across Utah.
Online Support Options
Intermountain Health offers a variety of behavioral health services to support mental well-being, including in-person clinics and online resources. Through options like Connect Care and virtual appointments, individuals across Utah, Idaho, and Nevada can access care from the comfort of their homes. Free guided mindfulness classes are also available to help manage stress and improve mental focus. These services can assist with a wide range of mental health concerns, such as anxiety, depression, substance use, workplace challenges, relationship issues, trauma, and suicidal thoughts or behaviors.
Treatment Programs
Behavioral Health Access Centers offer immediate crisis treatment, observation, and fast access to mental health treatment from licensed behavioral health professionals. Intermountain Health offers psychiatric and crisis care for people who are 18-years-old and up. Their access centers are ideal for people who are experiencing a behavioral health crisis.
Intermountain Health has four types of Behavioral Health Outpatient Clinics which offer high-quality care for adults, teens, and kids. They are able to diagnose and treat several health conditions such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, and more. They offer several treatment methods like counseling, psychiatry and mindfulness courses.
Dayspring is an Intermountain program dedicated to helping people recover from substance use disorders. This is done by building strong coping skills and developing ways to resist drug or alcohol use. Dayspring gives patients access to psychiatry, primary care, and family medicine to make sure patients get the best care.
The Behavioral Health Unit is an area of the hospital designed to stabilize someone with a mental health emergency. The main goal of the unit is to provide a safe and secure place where people can receive treatment to move past a crisis.

Behavioral Health In Primary Care is a service provided through Intermountain Health via your primary care provider. They use a team-based approach to our healthcare through programs such as Mental Health Integration, Collaborative Care, and Personalized Primary Care. These work together to address your unique healthcare needs.
The Intensive Outpatient Program for Behavioral Health was established to help individuals who require treatment of greater intensity than traditional individual psychotherapy which is often once weekly or once every other week. MH-IOP allows individuals to remain in their communities while receiving treatment. Often, MH-IOP can be provided as a higher level of care, rather than the most intense level of care which involves inpatient psychiatric hospitalization or a residential treatment facility.
