Source: Utah Attorney General — Far More Than Just an App

Summary

Utah Attorney General's Office description of SafeUT's origins and partners. Useful for legislative/AG partnership claims and for how Utah officials describe interest from other states — with a stale-date warning on one sentence.

Useful Claims

• SafeUT is described as a free statewide service providing real-time crisis intervention to Utah students, parents, and educators.
• Students can message licensed clinicians, call a crisis counselor, or submit confidential tips; the app is staffed 24 hours a day, 365 days a year at the University Neuropsychiatric Institute (UNI) — statutory/pre-rename language on this page.
• The program was developed with funding from the Utah State Legislature in collaboration with the Utah Attorney General's Office, UNI / U of U Health, the Utah State Board of Education, and the Utah Anti-Bullying Coalition.
• The page states that in 2019, the SafeUT Commission is currently working with several states to implement similar programs — the page does not name states or document completed rollouts, and the sentence is dated to 2019 on a page whose footer reads 2026.
• The page does not establish that other states have fully copied SafeUT — only that Utah officials were working with several states as of the page's 2019-tense wording.

Verbatim

"The program was developed with funding from the Utah State Legislature in collaboration with the Utah Attorney General's Office, the University Neuropsychiatric Institute (UNI) and U of U Health, the Utah State Board of Education, and the Utah Anti-Bullying Coalition." — program origins

"In 2019, there are plans to expand services to the Utah National Guard and the The SafeUT Commission is currently working with several states to implement similar programs." — expansion paragraph (capture preserves page wording including the duplicated "the")

"SafeUT allows students to open a two-way messaging service with licensed clinicians, call a crisis counselor directly, or submit confidential tips to school administrators on bullying, threats, violence, etc." — app functions

Reliability Notes

Self-reported by a Utah state agency. Strongest for naming founding partners and legislative authorization narrative. The "several states" sentence is not current-tense evidence without a dated primary follow-up; treat it as a lead that other states expressed interest circa 2019, not as proof of national replication.
