Healing from mental health and substance use issues is not just the absence of symptoms. It is a stable home, meaningful connection, and the tools to move forward. Be sure to learn more at https://liveonutah.org/

My name is Amanda McIntosh (she/her). I was born and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada, and for the past 17 years, I’ve proudly called the rural community of Price, Utah, home - a place I truly love.
In July 2014, my life changed forever when I lost my husband, and my daughter lost her father, to su***de. We proudly wear the red and gold beads as a symbol of both our loss and our commitment to honoring his life.

My daughter, Abbigale, now 13, is at the center of everything I do. Because of her, I have dedicated my professional career to su***de prevention. I am the Su***de Prevention Liaison for Four Corners Community Behavioral Health, which covers Carbon, Emery, and Grand counties. I serve on the Utah Su***de Prevention Coalition Committee, the Youth and Young Adult Workgroup, the means restriction workgroup, the state's Survivors of Su***de Loss Committee, and am the President of our local su***de prevention coalition: the HOPE Squad of Carbon, Emery, and Grand Counties. I am dedicated to making a difference in my local community, as well as in our state and nation.
Long before I joined the Board and began serving as the Board Secretary and co-chair of the Public Policy Committee, I admired the passion and dedication of AFSP members and volunteers. Our work leaves a lasting impact. Supporting survivors of su***de loss, uplifting those who have struggled, and strengthening communities across our state is one of my greatest joys. I recently took on the role of our chapter's Healing Conversations Coordinator to connect with and bring hope to those affected by su***de loss.

I volunteer to help rekindle hope. I volunteer to ensure that su***de prevention resources reach every corner of our communities, equipping others with the knowledge to recognize warning signs and take action. More importantly, I volunteer for something deeply personal: I want my daughter to grow up in a world where mental health is understood without stigma, where quality care is accessible to all, and where su***de is no longer a reality.

In my spare time (haha) my daughter and I enjoy road trips with delicious snacks, singing the Hamilton soundtrack at the top of our lungs, shopping "up north", and playing with our two dogs Gemma Love (Shih Tzu/MinPin mix) and Ruby Jade (Chocolate Lab). We love the ocean, reading, and spending time with our family and friends.

A lot of the stuff that keeps us going isn’t expensive.

A kind word.
A quiet room.
A good song.
A real laugh.
A little space to breathe.

Sometimes the simple stuff carries more weight than we realize.
