Community Mental Health Services | About Us | Valley

Offering Community Mental Health Services Since 1987

When it comes to rates of serious mental illness across the United States, Utah ranks near the top. This can have severe consequences for not only the individuals impacted but also their families and communities. The SAMHSA found that while substance use in Utah is lower compared to the national average, rates of depression and other serious mental health conditions are significantly higher.

At Valley Behavioral Health, we work with thousands of individuals who seek mental health resources and treatment each year, helping them achieve a life they deserve — one that frees them from the grips of mental illness, addiction, and problematic behaviors. If you or a loved one are seeking help, a therapist is sitting alongside to provide you treatment today.

The History Of Valley Behavioral Health Mental Health Clinics And Resources

Valley Behavioral Health was started in 1987 and was founded in order to meet the growing needs of the local community. There was a lack of behavioral health services despite strong evidence surrounding its effectiveness. Originally owned by Salt Lake County, Valley has since become a private non-profit and a leader in the greater Salt Lake community.

Initially, the founders saw a need for more outcome-based tools and services to help improve the lives of those living with mental health disorders. After becoming Valley Mental Health in 1987, our treatment facility was later rebranded to Valley Behavioral Health in 2013. Valley Behavioral Health also houses other brands including the Adult Autism Center and the Carmen B. Pingree Autism Center of Learning in an effort to assist in the treatment of more niche mental health needs in the community.

Today, Valley is part of something greater than we could have ever imagined, and we have no plans on stopping anytime soon. We will continue to work with our partners, old and new, to offer the best possible care across a wide range of mental health, behavioral, and substance use disorders.
