Why this matters right now (Utah data to ground decisions)

• Utah recorded 696 suicide deaths in 2023. Suicide was the second leading cause of death among ages 10–17, 18–24, and 25–44. Short answer: crisis help here is extensive and active. Utah IBIS/EPHT. (ibis.utah.gov)
• In 2022, 15.0% of Utah moms reported postpartum depression symptoms; broader MIHP data show 44.8% of new mothers experience depression or anxiety symptoms in the perinatal period (pregnancy through one year postpartum). Utah IBIS PPD indicator; Utah Maternal Mental Health Toolkit. (ibis.utah.gov, mihp.utah.gov)
• Good news for moms on Medicaid: Utah now covers the mother for a full 12 months postpartum. You can still qualify even if your income changes after birth. Utah Medicaid Pregnant Woman program; Post‑partum conversion policy. (medicaid.utah.gov, oepmanuals.dhhs.utah.gov)

What we reviewed and the gaps we fixed

We looked at the first page of search results for “Utah Mental Health Resources for Single Mothers,” including the Utah DHHS Maternal Mental Health pages, SafeUT, PSI Utah, 988 Utah, HMHI, and 211 Utah. Those pages are strong for hotlines, screening tools, and general guidance—but most don’t put income limits, application steps, county phone numbers, timelines, or backup options in one place, and few are written directly to single mothers juggling kids, jobs, and deadlines. This guide fills those gaps with:

• exact Utah Medicaid/CHIP income limits (current as of March 1, 2025), how to apply, what to upload, and decision timelines;
• county mental health authority phone numbers in one hub;
• cost‑saving routes (sliding‑fee clinics, victim compensation for counseling, peer‑led supports);
• realistic timelines, common mistakes, and “Plan B” if your first option doesn’t work.

---

• If it’s about your child or teen, you can also call 1‑833‑SAFE‑FAM (1‑833‑723‑3326) for Stabilization & Mobile Response (SMR) family‑focused teams. SMR. (sumh.utah.gov)
• Want to chat instead of talking? Use SafeUT (free 24/7 chat with licensed counselors). (safeut.org)

What to do if this doesn’t work

• Call the Utah Warm Line for a longer, non‑crisis talk: 833‑SPEAKUT or 801‑587‑1055 (daily 8 a.m.–11 p.m., free). HMHI Warm Line. (healthcare.utah.edu)

Medicaid and CHIP: Coverage that pays for therapy, meds, and more

Most single moms qualify either for Adult Expansion (your coverage) or for Pregnant Woman coverage and/or CHIP (your kids). Utah Medicaid covers counseling, med management, inpatient/outpatient mental health, and more. Medicaid benefits overview. (medicaid.utah.gov)

Current Utah income limits (monthly) — effective March 1, 2025

Note: Utah uses the Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI) rules and applies a 5% FPL disregard where applicable. The table below is from Utah’s Medicaid Policy Manual Table VII (effective 03/01/2025). Table VII. (oepmanuals.dhhs.utah.gov)

What this means for you

• If you’re not pregnant and your income is at or under the Adult Expansion column for your household size, you likely qualify for Medicaid.
• If you are pregnant, the Pregnant Woman column applies, and you keep Medicaid for 12 months after birth (postpartum). Utah Medicaid Pregnant Woman program. (medicaid.utah.gov)
• Kids can often get CHIP up to 200% FPL. CHIP covers mental health services and dental. Utah CHIP and CHIP benefits. (chip.utah.gov, medicaid.utah.gov)

What’s covered for mental health

• Therapy (individual, group, family), evaluations, inpatient and outpatient mental health, psychological testing, med management, psychosocial rehab, case management. Medicaid benefits. (medicaid.utah.gov)
• During pregnancy and after birth, Utah Medicaid also covers prenatal/postnatal psychosocial counseling (CPT/HCPCS H0046), generally up to 12 visits in a 12‑month period. Physician Services Manual. (medicaid-manuals.dhhs.utah.gov)

How to apply (fastest path)

• Apply online with DWS (Department of Workforce Services): MyCase (English/Spanish), or by phone 1‑866‑435‑7414 (Salt Lake County 801‑526‑0950). Mail/fax/in‑person options exist if online is hard. How to apply. (medicaid.utah.gov)
• Decision timelines: For MAGI programs (Pregnant Woman, Adult Expansion, PCR), DWS must decide within 30 days; disability‑based cases can take up to 90 days. Medicaid policy 703‑5; CHIP decisions also within 30 days. R382‑10‑16. (oepmanuals.dhhs.utah.gov, rules.utah.gov)

Required documents (upload photos if needed)

• Photo ID (driver’s license or other)
• Proof of Utah address (utility bill, lease, or letter)
• Proof of income for the last 30 days (pay stubs, award letters)
• Social Security numbers (if you have them) or proof of application
• Pregnancy proof (simple note from clinic/provider if applying as pregnant)
• Immigration documents if not a U.S. citizen (you can still apply for eligible household members)
• If asked: proof of child’s age and relationship (birth certificate)

What to do if this doesn’t work

• Call a Medicaid Health Program Representative at 1‑866‑608‑9422, or the Medicaid information line 1‑800‑662‑9651. Medicaid contacts. (medicaid.utah.gov)
• Use an FQHC (community health center) while your case is pending—you won’t be turned away for inability to pay. See the clinic section below.

---

Postpartum and maternal mental health (pregnancy to 12 months after birth)

Most urgent step first

• If you’re pregnant or up to one year postpartum and feel overwhelmed, anxious, down, or “not yourself,” call 1‑833‑TLC‑MAMA (1‑833‑852‑6262) any time. You’ll reach trained counselors who can listen, coach, and connect you to local help. MIHP maternal mental health resources. (mihp.utah.gov)

What Utah offers specifically

• 12 months postpartum Medicaid coverage for moms who qualify during pregnancy—no separate re‑application just because the baby arrived. Utah Medicaid Pregnant Woman program; Post‑partum conversion policy. (medicaid.utah.gov, oepmanuals.dhhs.utah.gov)
• Find a Utah clinician trained in perinatal mental health by county and insurance: Utah Maternal Mental Health Referral Network. Verified by DHHS. IBIS “Available services”. (ibis.utah.gov)
• Free HMHI virtual postpartum support group (twice monthly, drop‑in): email MaternalMentalHealth@hsc.utah.edu to register. HMHI postpartum group. (healthcare.utah.edu)
• PSI (Postpartum Support International) has Utah coordinators and a national helpline 1‑800‑944‑4773 with English/Spanish texting, plus many online support groups. PSI Get Help. (postpartum.net)

Reality check

• Postpartum depression/anxiety is common and treatable. Utah data show 15% postpartum depression symptoms in 2022 and broader perinatal symptoms in nearly 45% of mothers when you include pregnancy and the months before birth. IBIS PPD; MMH Toolkit. (ibis.utah.gov, mihp.utah.gov)

What to do if this doesn’t work

• Call 988 and request an in‑home MCOT visit. If you worry about safety (yours or the baby’s), ask the 988 counselor to prioritize a mobile team. 988 Utah. (988.utah.gov)

---

Help for your kids and teens (and you, as the parent)

Start here

• If your child is melting down, talking about self‑harm, or is just “not okay,” call 1‑833‑SAFE‑FAM (1‑833‑723‑3326) or 988. A family‑focused team can meet you at home and continue short‑term stabilization visits (2–3 times/week for 6–8 weeks where available). Free statewide. SMR. (sumh.utah.gov)
• Teens can chat 24/7 with SafeUT. Parents can use it too. SafeUT. (safeut.org)

Coverage for kids

• Many kids qualify for CHIP even when parents’ income is too high for Medicaid. CHIP includes mental health services, and preventive care has no copays. Call 1‑877‑KIDS‑NOW (1‑877‑543‑7669). Utah CHIP site; CHIP benefits. (chip.utah.gov, medicaid.utah.gov)

What to do if this doesn’t work

• Ask your school about counseling and mental health supports funded locally.
• Call 211 and request youth counseling providers taking new patients near you. Utah 211. (211utah.org)

---

Your county mental health authority (the backbone of Utah’s system)

Utah contracts with a Local Mental Health Authority (LMHA) in every county. You can call them directly for intake, therapy, med management, groups, and crisis linkage (Medicaid/private insurance/self‑pay accepted; many offer sliding fees).

What to do if this doesn’t work

• Call the DHHS Health Resource Line 1‑888‑222‑2542 for help navigating services, or dial 211 to get other in‑network options. DHHS contacts. (dhhs.utah.gov)

---

Low‑cost care: Community Health Centers (sliding fees)

Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) provide primary care plus behavioral health, often with same‑day or telehealth options, and use sliding‑fee discounts. You won’t be turned away for lack of ability to pay.

• Find a clinic near you (zip‑code search): Association for Utah Community Health (AUCH) – Find a Clinic. (auch.org)
• Example: Community Health Centers, Inc. (Salt Lake County) offers a Discounted Fee Program; minimum charge $40\ast \ast formedicalvisits(and\ast \ast$60 for dental) for uninsured patients who qualify. Phone 801‑412‑6920. CHC Discounted Fee Program. (chc-ut.org)

What to do if this doesn’t work

• Try other AUCH member clinics (Midtown CHC in Weber/Davis/Salt Lake; Mountainlands in Utah County; Wayne, Green River, Carbon MS, etc.). Use the AUCH “Find a Clinic” map to call ahead and ask about mental health slots and interpreters. AUCH clinics. (auch.org)

If you survived a crime: Utah will help pay for counseling

Utah’s Office for Victims of Crime (UOVC) can pay for mental health treatment for victims and certain family members. Outpatient session limits and rates are set in rule; as of December 8, 2023, UOVC reimburses mental health counseling at the PEHP fee schedule (a substantial increase). Inpatient/residential/day treatment caps also exist.

• Key points (Utah Admin. Code R270‑1‑5): primary victims are eligible for 25 outpatient sessions; secondary victims typically 15; more may be approved for extenuating circumstances. Inpatient facility fees up to $600/day\ast \ast ;daytreatmentupto\ast \ast$200/day (capped). Rule R270‑1‑5 summary. (casetext.com)
• Newer rate update: UOVC pays counseling at PEHP rates and allows qualified student interns to be paid (improves access). UOVC update 12/12/2023. (crimevictim.utah.gov)

How to apply

• Call the UOVC main line or start online at the UOVC site; keep police report/case number if you have one (not always required). See “Victim Resources” page for local advocates who can help you apply. UOVC Victim Resources. (crimevictim.utah.gov)

What to do if this doesn’t work

• Ask your county victim advocate (often in the police department or DA’s office) to help you file or appeal. If funds are tight, ask your therapist to bill UOVC directly once your claim is approved.

Special routes for specific situations (Diverse Communities)

These are practical, Utah‑specific doors to knock on when general options aren’t enough.

LGBTQ+ single mothers

• Peer groups, community resources, and referrals: Utah Pride Center – Community Resources. Note: the Center currently emphasizes community programs and referrals rather than clinical therapy. Call 801‑539‑8800 for details. (utahpridecenter.org)
• Low‑cost, affirming therapy providers operate across the Wasatch Front. Use 211’s “mental health counseling” search and ask about sliding fees and telehealth. Utah 211. (211utah.org)
• 988 explicitly lists LGBTQ‑related challenges as a reason to call; interpreters available. 988 Utah. (988.utah.gov)

What to do if this doesn’t work

Single mothers with disabilities or caring for a disabled child

---

Common mistakes to avoid (and what to do instead)

• Missing a DWS letter or text. Fix: Log into MyCase twice a week until you’re approved; set calendar reminders.

• Assuming you’re “over income.” Fix: Compare your monthly income to the exact table above (not yearly), and remember the 5% disregard may help. Table VII. (oepmanuals.dhhs.utah.gov)
• Waiting for a therapist while struggling. Fix: use 988, Warm Line, or SafeUT while you wait—this is what they’re for. 988 Utah; Warm Line. (988.utah.gov, healthcare.utah.edu)
• Not telling your clinic you’re postpartum or pregnant. Fix: pregnancy/postpartum status can unlock coverage (12 months postpartum). Medicaid postpartum extension. (oepmanuals.dhhs.utah.gov)

---
