Mental Health/SAP
Dear CCTI Family,
As you read this, we find ourselves in an unprecedented time in history. We are mandated to be in our homes and people you know may be sick or you are worried that you yourself may get sick. These are scary times. I wanted to put some information on the website to help you and your family get through these trying weeks or months. Many of Carbon County’s resources are still available to students and their families. Here is a list of some helpful information and numbers.

As always, if you find yourself struggling with thoughts of suicide, and the above interventions have not worked, please call 911 or get yourself to the nearest emergency room. As more resources become available we will update the website. We will get through this! Please stay safe and take care.
I hope this helps. Let me know if you need anything else. Stay safe.
