The Children’s Center Utah Expands to Utah County

New Kahlert Children’s Mental Health Center brings specialized care for young children and families closer to home.
For more than 60 years, The Children’s Center Utah has provided specialized infant and early childhood mental health care to young children, families, and caregivers in Salt Lake County. Now, that care is expanding.
The Children’s Center Utah has opened Kahlert Children’s Mental Health Center in Lehi, its first Utah County location and an important step toward expanding access to specialized early childhood mental health services statewide.
Why Utah County?
Utah County is the fastest-growing county in the state, has Utah’s youngest median age, and is home to approximately 60,000 children from birth through age six.
Until now, many Utah County families seeking The Children’s Center Utah’s specialized services had to travel to Salt Lake County for care. The new Lehi center brings that support directly into one of Utah’s fastest-growing communities.
The center was made possible through broad public and private support, including state funding, generous private donors, and land donated by Intermountain Health on its Larry H. & Gail Miller Family Campus in Lehi.
Located directly across the street from Intermountain Primary Children’s Hospital, The Children’s Center Utah operates as an independent mental health care provider. Its services complement the pediatric mental health care available at Primary Children’s Hospital, reflecting a shared understanding that children’s physical and mental well-being are deeply connected.
Specialized Care for Utah’s Youngest Children
At both its Salt Lake County and Utah County locations, The Children’s Center Utah provides comprehensive mental health care exclusively for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and their families and caregivers.
The Kahlert Children’s Mental Health Center is now providing outpatient mental health services for children from birth through age six. Its Therapeutic Preschool Program will begin at the Lehi location in January.
By bringing these services closer to home, The Children’s Center Utah can help reduce barriers to treatment and reach more children during some of the earliest and most formative years of their lives.
Join Us to Celebrate
The Children’s Center Utah invites the community to celebrate the opening of Kahlert Children’s Mental Health Center with a press conference and ribbon-cutting ceremony.
Thursday, October 1
10:00 a.m.
