🌟 Supporting Wyoming's Agricultural Community: Counseling Voucher Program Returns! 🌟

Thanks to funding provided through the Governor’s Office and the incredible efforts of the Wyoming Department of Agriculture, the Counseling Voucher Program is back for 2025-2026! This program offers up to six counseling sessions SPECIFICALLY for those in the agriculture, rodeo, and farming communities. 💚

The past few years have been challenging for Wyoming producers, and this initiative ensures they have access to vital mental health resources.
👉 How It Works:
*Licensed Wyoming mental health professionals can offer sessions to eligible clients.
*Vouchers cover session costs (less any insurance coverage).
*Services must be rendered between December 23, 2024, and December 30, 2026.

For more information, contact Sheila Ricley at The Align Team sricley@thealignteam.org.

We are deeply grateful to Governor Mark Gordon and the Wyoming Department of Agriculture for recognizing the importance of mental health in our rural communities. Together, we can make a difference. 💪
