A Worrying Call for Help

On June 13, 2025, Kelley Wolf, a well-known author and public speaker, was taken to a hospital by police in Sundance, Utah. A close friend made a 911 call, describing Kelley’s mental health as worsening over weeks. The friend, whose name was not shared, asked for a mental health team to assist Kelley, who was staying at the Sundance Resort.

Background of the Situation

Kelley Wolf, 48, has been in the public eye for her work as a life coach and speaker. She recently separated from her husband of 21 years, actor Scott Wolf, known for his role in Party of Five. The couple lived in Park City, Utah, where authorities had received several calls to their home in the past month, according to a Summit County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson. These calls were related to domestic issues, though details remain limited.

On the day of the incident, Kelley’s friend told the 911 dispatcher that Kelley was “very skittish” and did not want help. “We’ve been trying to get her help for weeks to months,” the friend said, adding that Kelley had resisted earlier attempts to support her. The friend also mentioned an incident at the Sundance Resort, where Kelley reportedly caused a disturbance in a restaurant and “threw herself on the ground” before security stepped in.

What Happened on June 13?

The 911 call from Kelley’s friend prompted police to send deputies to the Sundance Resort. In a separate 911 call from the Wolfs’ Park City home that same day, another person reported a “family fight.” It’s unclear who made this call, but a dispatcher noted that a trespass issue had been resolved after a previous police visit.

When deputies arrived at the resort, they spoke with Kelley. According to a police statement, Kelley made “concerning comments” to both a family member and the officers. Based on these remarks, deputies decided to take her to a local hospital for evaluation.

Kelley recorded the moment police arrived on her Instagram Live. In the video, she appeared upset, saying, “Oh my God, this is not happening. This is shameful, gentlemen.” She told the officers, “Be ashamed of yourselves.” One officer calmly explained that she was not going to jail and that they were there to get her help. Kelley responded, “I know what I’m doing, I’ve done this. This is my job.”

Kelley’s Response

After being admitted to the hospital, Kelley posted a photo on her Instagram Stories showing her belongings in what looked like a hospital room. She wrote, “I have been taken against my will. Please check on my kids.” She also added, “I am happy!! Happier than I have ever been.” These conflicting messages have sparked concern among her followers and the public.

Mental Health in the Spotlight

This incident highlights the challenges of supporting someone experiencing a mental health crisis. According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), about 1 in 5 adults in the U.S. face mental health issues each year. Seeking help can be difficult, especially when someone resists support, as Kelley’s friend described.

Dr. Sarah Jenkins, a mental health expert based in Salt Lake City, explains, “When someone is in crisis, it’s critical to act with care and urgency. Friends and family often play a key role in getting help, but it can be emotionally exhausting.” She adds that professional intervention, like the one in Kelley’s case, is sometimes necessary to ensure safety.

Community and Support Resources

Kelley’s story has sparked conversations about mental health resources. In Utah, organizations like the Huntsman Mental Health Institute offer support for those in crisis. Nationally, the Crisis Text Line (text “STRENGTH” to 741-741) connects people with trained counselors 24/7.

  • If you need help: Text “STRENGTH” to 741-741 for free, confidential support.
  • Local resources: Contact the Huntsman Mental Health Institute at (801) 583-2500.

What’s Next?

Kelley Wolf’s hospital visit has raised questions about her well-being and what support she may need moving forward. Authorities have not shared updates on her condition, and Kelley has not posted publicly since June 13. Her followers and community await news, hoping for her recovery.

This case also reminds us of the importance of mental health awareness. As President Donald Trump begins his second term in 2025, mental health remains a key issue for many Americans. Advocates are calling for more funding and access to care to prevent crises like Kelley’s from escalating.
