Dear editor:
Suicide can be prevented.
September marks Suicide Prevention Awareness Month. Unfortunately, our region continues to experience an increase in the number of individuals who need support and care. A recent study shows the majority of adults (94%) believe that suicide can be prevented, at least some of the time, and 96% of adults in the U.S. would take action if someone close to them was thinking about suicide.
There is hope. We are listening.
As a behavioral health care provider here in Wyoming, our team at Wyoming Behavioral Institute is dedicated to #BeThere in a manner that promotes connectedness. Culturally relevant services, evidence-based treatments and support are available.
It is imperative that we equip our community with hope, resilience and the tools to feel empowered. People needing help can contact:
• 988, the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline that provides 24/7 confidential support. Text, chat or call today.
Trained crisis counselors are ready to serve.
• The Veterans Crisis Line for U.S. Military Veterans, call 988, press 1.
• Trevor Lifeline, the only national 24/7 lifeline for LGBTQ youth, at 1-866-488-7386.
You can help save a life.
Mike Phillips
CEO, Wyoming Behavioral Institute
