Governor Gordon to participate in Community Conversation on Mental Health in Rock Springs
CHEYENNE, Wyo. – Governor Mark Gordon will take part in a community conversation addressing mental health and suicide Thursday, September 26 at 6 pm at the Broadway Theater in Rock Springs.
The Governor will join Rock Springs Mayor Max Mickelson and Dr. Kent Corso, an internationally recognized suicidologist and founder of PROSPER (Proactive Reduction of Suicide in Populations via Evidence-Based Research). The event seeks to raise awareness about suicide prevention, mental health, and the stigma surrounding seeking out treatment. The facilitated conversation will be followed by an audience question and answer session.
Parents, educators, first responders, mental health professionals, community volunteers, and concerned citizens are encouraged to attend and engage in this vital discussion. The conversation is another step in Governor Gordon’s Mental Health Initiative to advance Wyoming’s systemic approach to mental health care reform. The Wy We Care Initiative is the culmination of extensive collaboration among all three branches of state government, local community teams, and private sector providers. The initiative will improve access to behavioral health services and strengthen the state’s behavioral healthcare workforce.
