NAMI Sheridan Wyoming

Those of you who have the pleasure of knowing our Americorps VISTA, Celia, you know how amazing and integral to NAMI Sheridan she is.

Celia loves her work with NAMI and just signed on for a second year of service. But our goal is to keep her long after her VISTA service ends. Recently, she was accepted to the 2026 Leadership Sheridan class, and we’re so proud of her. Celia’s desire to grow in her nonprofit work and get to understand Sheridan even better will serve NAMI well.

Take a look at some photos of Celia this week, where her Leadership Sheridan class got to visit the Capitol and learn about how our government works. And join us in thanking her for completing her first year of VISTA service by dropping a line below. ⬇️☺️

✨ We’re Back—Second Round Added! ✨

Due to high interest, NAMI Sheridan Wyoming is launching a second round of our Healing Your Relationship with Food & Body Support Group.

This is a FREE, 10-week therapeutic group led by licensed clinician Amanda Parks, designed for adults seeking a more peaceful, compassionate relationship with food and body. The group follows the Intuitive Eating Workbook and offers a supportive, structured space for healing and growth.

⚠️ Important details:
• This is a closed group (participants commit to the full 10 weeks)
• Space is very limited
• Spots filled quickly last round

📞 Pre-registration is required
To be added to the list, contact Amanda Parks directly at 702-715-2599.

If this sounds like something you’ve been waiting for—don’t wait. 💙

Did you know NAMI Sheridan Wyoming and Sheridan County Prevention together to host a FREE su***de loss support group led by local clinicians from Foundations for Living Whole, LLC. If you’ve been impacted by su***de and need a place to process, please contact us.

Thanks to Ann Perkins for sharing some about NAMI in this article.

Out of the 91 deaths in Sheridan last year, 16 were deaths by su***de. This number is not okay to us. We will continue to work to lower it.

Record high su***des in Sheridan for 2025.

Check out this group starting up at CHAPS Equine Assisted Services

Did you know CHAPS offers multiple programs instructed by certified professionals? Haltering Hope for Caregivers is a new program and offers caregivers a chance to breathe, rest and reboot. Caregiving is a hard job and can take a toll on the person in that role. It's not because you don't actually care, but probably because you put so much pressure on yourself to "do it right" and "be available." Join us on Wednesday evenings for a chance to unwind and recharge for the week ahead.

Applications can be found at chapswyo.org/programs. Scroll down below the photo bubbles. This group will meet Wednesdays 5-6pm starting March 4, 2026.

Yesterday, several members of our NAMI board and staff attended the Mental Health Collaborative hosted by Sheridan Memorial Hospital. It was an inspiring day dedicated to enhancing mental health support in Sheridan County.

We are incredibly grateful to be part of this initiative and proud to contribute to the diverse array of mental health resources available locally. Together, we are paving the way towards becoming a leader among rural communities in taking a proactive approach to mental health.

Here’s to building stronger partnerships and fostering a healthier community! 💚
