A gentle place to start

These pathways can help you decide what kind of support fits. You can ask questions first, protect privacy, and choose a small next step without promising a cleanup, a diagnosis, or an in-home visit.

Ask what a first conversation or virtual group would involve. You can ask questions without sending photos or arranging a home visit.

Role: nonprofit first-conversation and virtual peer-group front door; geography: remote, ask about Green River or Sweetwater County; cost/eligibility: confirm current program fit and availability; emergency limit: nonclinical support is not therapy, crisis response, shelter, or cleanup.

For immediate danger

If there is immediate danger, a fire, a serious injury, dangerous utility failure, or someone may be trapped, call 911. For a behavioral-health crisis that is not an immediate medical emergency, call or text 988; Wyoming's crisis system explains how statewide crisis centers may fit.
