Wyoming is frequently the state with the highest per-capita su***de rate in the nation; ranchers and other agricultural families are among the most at-risk groups. Su***de can be prevented, and there is hope. One of the most effective ways to help prevent su***de is for friends, family, and neighbors to recognize warning signs, and feel comfortable helping someone find the support they need.

PRBRC is sponsoring a two-day su***de prevention training (ASIST) for ranchers, and for those who work closely with them. The lead trainer for this workshop is from a ranching family. We recognize that there are particular pressures navigated by ranch families, which aren’t shared by the general public, and this will be an opportunity to learn together with people who understand those challenges. At the end of the training, participants will be able to recognize when their neighbor is struggling, and help them find help.

The details:
FREE
September 1 & 2 (Tuesday and Wednesday)
8am-4:30pm
Watt Ag Building (Sheridan College Campus)
Snacks and Lunch provided
RSVP: 307-672-5809

We are excited to provide this training. If you would like to attend, but are unable to, please also contact us so we can make note of your interest and keep you informed about future opportunities.
