None of Us Can Do It Alone.
Since March 2020, the need for mental health access in Wyoming has sky rocketed, and with that the significant need for mental health policy, funding, and legislation. To respond to this need, associations, nonprofit organizations, professionals and consumers have worked tirelessly during this difficult time.
During this time we realized we were more effective working together than alone. Therefore, the Wyoming Behavioral Health Alliance was formed. WYBHA hopes to be a network of behavioral health associations, non profits, professionals, consumers, and advocates working together in order to address Wyoming’s behavioral health needs through sound education, collaboration and effective advocacy.
The Basics
-
The Vision of the Wyoming Behavioral Health Alliance is to establish and maintain a grassroots organization where all behavioral health associations, organizations, professionals, consumers, and advocates harness their collective power towards improving behavioral health care and access in Wyoming.
-
WYBHA's mission is to promote statewide mental health policy through expertise, education, advocacy, and voter education.
-
When working towards WYBHA’s mission, the values at the foundation of WYBHA’s work and decision making are:
Ethics – Both Professional and Business
Collaboration
Efficacy
Evidence-based
The Wyoming Behavioral Health Alliance was formed on the desire to bring all associations, agencies, professionals, consumers, and advocates together in order to promote greater mental healthcare policies in Wyoming. WYBHA abides by the variety of different professional ethical codes which state clearly that the dignity and worth of all people, cultural competency and inclusivity is a foundational principal towards ethical mental health care. Therefore WYBHA actively works towards such inclusivity and advocates against the discrimination based on race, creed, ethnicity, gender, age, disability, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status and other factors that deny humanity of all Wyoming residents.
