Utah Project Aware 2022-2026 - The purpose of Utah Project Aware 2022-2026 is to develop a sustainable infrastructure for school-based mental health programs and services in Utah.

The Utah Department of Human Services- Office of Substance Use and Mental Health (OSUMH) will build collaborative partnerships with the local education agencies (LEAs), including Tooele County School District, North Sanpete School District, and San Juan School District. Partnerships will also be built with community-based providers of behavioral health care services, community organizations, families, and school-aged youth.

OSUMH will support the three school districts in building a three-tiered system of support and increase the number of students who receive evidence-based social emotional learning curriculum, suicide prevention training, and evidence-based mental health services. OSUMH and the LEAs will also provide training to adults supporting youth to increase mental health literacy and access to quality mental health care.

As a result of this project, depressive symptoms, suicide ideation, and needs for mental health treatment will be reduced in youth in the three targeted LEAs, while access to services and knowledge of suicide prevention skills and resources will increase.
