The Wyoming Department of Health is inviting teachers, law enforcement representatives, clinicians, loss survivors, community members and other stakeholders to attend the 2022 Wyoming Suicide Prevention Symposium in Cheyenne later this month.
The free two-day event begins at 8 a.m. on September 26 at the Little America Resort in Cheyenne.
Injury and Violence Prevention Program manager with WDH Cathy Hoover, said that Wyoming consistently has had one of the nation’s highest suicide rates and that it is nearly impossible to find someone in Wyoming who hasn’t been affected by suicide.
The two-day agenda will allow attendees to discuss current trends, substance use, suicide loss and the future of prevention.
Free suicide prevention training, known as Question Persuade Refer (QPR), will be available. Information will also be available about the new 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline number.

Anyone needing special accommodations to attend the symposium is asked to contact the Injury and Violence Prevention Program at (307) 777-2923 seven days prior to the meeting to describe their needs.
