The U-TTEC Lab is an organization that is dedicated to fostering and uplifting the mental health and well-being of all Utah children and families through research, training, and service. We are united in our vision to establish and contribute positively to the sustainability of statewide mental health, education, and well-being initiatives and resources that will serve the diverse needs of our communities.
In our work, we nurture belonging through mutual respect, individualized support, a strong sense of empathy, and a community where everyone can thrive and feel connected. Our commitment to creating belonging extends to every member of our team and our school and community partners. This intentionality for belonging will help us on our mission to create a mentally healthy future for Utah children and families.

The University of Utah recognizes and respects the enduring relationship that exists between many Indigenous peoples and their traditional homelands. We respect the sovereign relationship between tribes, states, and the federal government, and we affirm the University of Utah’s commitment to a partnership with Native Nations and Urban Indian communities through research, education, and community outreach activities.
