Wyoming Hotline for Mental Health
According to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) for 2019, approximately 18% of adults in Wyoming reported experiencing a mental illness in the past year. Common mental health conditions include anxiety disorders, major depressive disorder, and substance use disorders.
Suicide is a serious concern related to mental health. In 2019, Wyoming had a suicide rate of 28.2 per 100,000 population, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Suicide rates can vary by age group, gender, and other factors.
Wyoming faces challenges in terms of access to mental health care services, particularly in rural areas. The state has a network of community mental health centers, private therapists and counselors, and crisis hotlines. Efforts have been made to increase access through telehealth services, mobile crisis response teams, and collaborations with primary care providers.
Wyoming offers various mental health resources to its residents. The Wyoming Department of Health provides information and resources on mental health services and programs. Local community mental health centers, nonprofit organizations, and advocacy groups such as the Wyoming Association of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Centers offer support, education, and resources.
Substance use disorders often co-occur with mental health conditions. Wyoming has been addressing substance abuse issues, including opioids, through prevention, treatment, and recovery support services. Efforts include increasing access to medication-assisted treatment, implementing harm reduction strategies, and promoting community education.
