Team members will finalize plans for International Survivors of Suicide Loss Day (ISOSLD); make a calendar for all requested QPR classes at both Sub 9 and 1; look at Title 25 data. There is an ongoing report on current available counseling services,wait times, and the county mental health fund at these team meetings. Our overarching goal is to address gaps in mental health services and to increase access to services. Thank you to the clinic directors and counselors at High Country Behavioral Health, Teton Behavior Therapy, and Dayle Read-Hudson LCSW for continuing to work with the fund, thank you to all the school counselors for referring kids and families, and thank you to Melinda Bobo and Randy Belton for administering the funds. This is an inspiring community project involving many generous community members, including the Boulder Roll Poker Run, the Episcopal Foundation of Wyoming, St. Andrew’s Church, St. Hubert’s Church, and the Women’s Advocacy Group. All are welcome to attend this meeting to learn more.

*** Please note: Our friend Dr. Libby Stuyt, the addictions psychiatrist who has presented to us this past year on the Impact of High Potency THC on the Adolescent Brain, has invited all Wyoming prevention coalitions to attend a speaker series from the International Academy on the Science and Impact of Cannabis. These are one hour presentations by doctors that occur 2-3 times a month. I have attended 2 and they are excellent. To view the speaker schedule, speaker bios, and to register, please go to:
As signatures are being gathered in Wyoming for ballot initiatives to legalize THC, it is really important that we step up our game and take advantage of all training opportunities to learn as much as we can about commercial marijuana and its impacts on individual and public health.
Thank you to Sheriff KC Lehr, Sublette County Treatment Court Coordinator Cassie Crumpton, and to Sarah Murdock from this task force for participating in training this past month.
