Vantage Point is a short term (48 hours, may be extended for homeless youth); voluntary facility where youth ages 12-17 (10, 11 year olds under certain circumstances) can come for a safe place. When youth are runaways, having conflict at home, high-risk, homeless, etc., they can find refuge at Vantage Point. There is no cost directly to the consumer of the services and no insurance is necessary. Staff have passed background checks and there is always at least one male and one female on staff at all times. Case managers and therapists are available to discuss options and provide necessary resources to both teens and parents.
Services Include: *Emergency shelter care for runaway/homeless youth *24/7 accessibility *Food, bedding, clothing, and shower access *Social development skill groups *Therapy *Anger management course *Parenting Class *Case Management

The stay is 48 hours unless circumstances warrant longer (example: homeless youth). The services at VP are free to the consumer. VP is funded by State (Juvenile Justice Services, Wasatch Mental Health, and DCFS) and Federal sources (Runaway and Homeless Youth Grant).
There are fees for stays longer than 48 hours to cover costs of room and board. These fees are not covered by Medicaid. Clients are not charged for clinical/treatment services. If a youth has Medicaid, we will require a copy of their card, as Wasatch Mental Health is a Medicaid provider. Medicaid insurance is NOT necessary to stay at Vantage Point.

Vantage Point is a 24 hour facility. Therapists are generally available from 9 am to 6 pm Monday through Friday. Case Managers are generally available from 8 am to 9 pm every day.

Vantage Point serves Utah, Juab, Millard, and Wasatch Counties.
