Summary
Speakers described plans to pilot a two-year Stabilization Mobile Response (SMR) team in partnership with Intermountain Children's, estimated to serve 20–30 youth per month, and noted steps the county has taken to implement elements of Senator Clancy's Bill 281 related to behavioral-health access in first-responder vehicles.
Speaker 4 said the county is working with Intermountain Children's to launch a two-year test of a youth-focused Stabilization Mobile Response (SMR) team that would provide in-home follow-up care for children and families. Speaker 4 described the pilot as a shared team with Salt Lake County and estimated a rough caseload of about 20–30 youth per month during the test run.
On related outreach, Speaker 4 said the county has implemented parts of Senator Clancy's Bill 281 by ensuring means for individuals to access behavioral-health services in first-responder vehicles and by adding bilingual informational stickers to High Valley Transit vehicles. Speaker 4 said they would resend an email to the appropriate chief to prompt follow-through and include other interested members.
