Community involvement and donations are greatly appreciated to help us meet specific, as well as ongoing, needs of our clients. Our goal is to improve the quality of life for our clients and frequently that goes far beyond providing mental health treatment alone. We have homeless individuals moving into an apartment for the first time who need all of the basics for setting up a household as well as children who need school clothes, warm coats and more. Wasatch Behavioral Health appreciates everyone in the community who assist us with our mission and truly make a difference in the lives of those with a mental illness or substance use disorder.
Listed below are some current and ongoing needs. Please feel free to call about specific projects that you may want to do or talents that you have to contribute.
