About the Summit

Healthcare organizations—from outpatient to inpatient, primary care to behavioral health, hospitals to states and tribes, school-based mental health to justice settings—want to provide individuals at risk for suicide with optimal care. This Summit will help provide tools to do just that.


Thank you for joining the Summit virtually this year. Virtual attendees should log in to the appropriate room link, and follow the directions given. The keynote speakers will use the same link as the Grand Ballroom.

For the Breakout Sessions, virtual attendees will choose between two breakout sessions during each scheduled time. A single room link will be used for each room, the Grand Ballroom or Room 150A. Each breakout session time has a single evaluation.

Six (6) CEUs have been approved through the Utah Psychological Association and the National Association of Social Workers. You must complete the evaluations with the same email address that you used when registering for the Summit to receive CEUs.

To receive credit, virtual attendees must stay the entire Summit and submit evaluations for each presentation. Complete the evaluations with the same email address you used when registering for the Summit. Certificates will be emailed electronically within 30 days.

If you experience difficulties, please contact Alyssa Mitchell at aamitchell@utah.gov for help.
