Who We Are
The Alpine House is a home established to (1) assist the returning mental health patient from inpatient status to life in the community, and (2) to provide a temporary home for individuals already in the community with emotional problems of such a nature that the atmosphere of the home would be beneficial. It is a place where these individuals may live for a few weeks to a few months, while working on various phases of their rehabilitation, then move on, when ready, into regular community life. Some structure will be provided, but the residents will be expected to make decisions, assume responsibility, and plan future objectives.
What We Do
Many services are provided by such state agencies as Wasatch Mental Health Center, Division of Rehabilitation Services, Utah State Hospital, Department of Work Force Services, etc. Since the residents are relatively young, most of them are either attending college, technical schools, or are working or seeking employment. Recreational activities are purposely unstructured so that the residents can learn to demonstrate their own resourcefulness in this area. Frequent group activities are planned by the residents and house parents.
