Behavioral Health Plan update moves to next step

The Wyoming Department of Health (WDH) is moving forward with proposals to update the state’s behavioral health system.

A bill passed during the most recent session of the Wyoming Legislature (House Enrolled Act 56 or House Bill 38) requires WDH to consult with affected stakeholders as it develops a redesign plan for Wyoming’s state-funded behavioral health system.

According to the WDH, for the next step, the department will present a redesign proposal. An Aug. 25, online session is planned to seek feedback on the draft plan from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.

Virtual participation will be offered through Google Meet, via computer or phone. The video call link is https://meet.google.com/xjk-ezbp-ddj Or dial: +1 (617) 675-4444 PIN: ‪521 391 256 5550#.

In a release, the WDH has announced an in-person public session originally slated for Aug. 17, in Rawlins has been cancelled.
