Update: 3-24-2021
Wasatch County COVID-19 Update March 22nd
Most Utah counties including Wasatch County are in the Moderate level of COVID-19 transmission. Below is the link to this week’s update from the Wasatch County Health Department. Some good news from the update is that anyone 16 years and older is now eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine. If you don’t have your vaccine yet, call 435-657-3276 and get your appointment scheduled today!
Rent Assistance Available
Utah has an Emergency Rental Assistance program to help renters who are unable to pay their rent and utilities due to circumstances related to COVID-19. See more details about this program and apply here starting March 15, 2021.
New Virtual Mental Health Services Now Available
Connect Care Behavioral Health recently launched to provide virtual psychiatric care from anywhere in Utah or Idaho. Treatment is provided for mild-to-moderate conditions of anxiety, depression, addiction, and more—including medication prescribing and management. Appointments for adults are available daily from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., including same-day appointments, by calling 833-442-2670.
Volunteers Needed!
The Wasatch Latino Coalition is working on a survey to gather information to help our newly created sub-committees understand the needs of our Latino community. Our goal is to collect at least 400 surveys by the end of April. If each of us could collect 5-10 surveys we could easily exceed our goal! Let us know if you have an hour or so to contact your neighbors and ask them to complete the survey or if you are a member of a community organization or group and could ask those members to complete the survey, we would really appreciate it. Right now we only have paper copies of the survey available. We are working on an online form of the survey that will be available soon. Please send an email to info@wasatchlatinocoalition.org if you can help or if you would like to complete a survey.
Upcoming Community Events
Remember to watch our Events Calendar for community events, workshops, parenting classes, support groups, and Wasatch Latino Coalition meetings. You can see a list of events on the right sidebar of our website pages or on our Events Calendar page. If you have an event you would like to share with the community, please send an email to resources@wasatchlatinocoalition.org.

Tech-Moms Latinas Program Set to Launch
Tech-Moms (sponsored by RizeNext) is a program designed to introduce women to the world of tech careers by helping them gain the skills, knowledge, and connections they need to thrive in today’s digital economy. Most of our applicants are women who are either looking to advance their careers by transitioning into the tech world, or those who are relaunching careers after taking time off from work. No previous tech experience is necessary.
We are pleased to announce applications are now open for a special cohort, Tech-Moms Latinas, to be launched later this year.
If you know women who might be interested, or if your organization wants to get involved in helping to diversify our tech industry here in Utah, please contact us at support@rizenext.com.
