怀俄明州长 Gordon 署名呼吁谈论自杀预防：988热线州内接听与一线平板求助已落地
位于怀俄明州的州长办公室11月5日发布州长 Mark Gordon 的署名文章《怀俄明同舟共济，让我们谈谈自杀》（Wyoming Survives Together, So Let's Talk About Suicide），呼吁打破围绕心理健康的沉默，并介绍了该州自杀预防工作的多项进展。
Gordon 在文中写道，真正的西部坚韧不是孤立沉默或独自挣扎，而是连接、社区、尊重与知道何时伸出援手。他提到在秋季的 Stronger Together 自杀预防研讨会上，教师、退伍军人、医护人员、行业伙伴与社区领袖共同参与；全州已有4,000多名各行各业的居民接受了自杀意识预防培训，培训以面对面与线上两种方式进行。怀俄明州还为988自杀与危机生命线争取到专门资金，确保州内24小时由本地受训人员接听。
文中介绍的具体举措包括：州级倡议 WY We Care 及其幸存者宣传活动；与 Helmsley 慈善信托及怀俄明州警长与警察局长协会合作推出的 Virtual Crisis Care——为执法人员配备专用平板，让一线人员即时把心理困扰者与行为健康专业人员连线；新的州级农村健康转型计划将用于扩展远程医疗等行为健康服务模式。针对不同人群，长者方面有设在 Carbon County 纪念医院的 Senior Life Solutions 门诊项目，青少年方面有 Ortus 基金会进校项目，大学层面怀俄明大学正推进循证实践与培训，退伍军人则有老兵互助支持计划。
Gordon 还提到，他近期在 Jackson 主持了西部州长协会一场以减少心理健康污名、扩大护理可及性为主题的工作坊，并肯定协会主席、夏威夷州州长 Josh Green 以「健康超越医疗」主席倡议推动这一进程。他在文末写道：「我们已经取得进展，但还没有完成。利害太大了。让我们继续谈、继续听。携起手来，我们能带来改变。」

Wyoming Governor Gordon Calls for Open Talk on Suicide Prevention in Signed Op-Ed
The Office of the Governor of Wyoming on November 5 released a signed op-ed by Governor Mark Gordon, "Wyoming Survives Together, So Let's Talk About Suicide," calling for open conversation about mental health and setting out the state's suicide prevention efforts.
Gordon wrote that true Western grit is found not in isolated silence or solitary struggle but in connection, community, respect, and knowing when to step up. He described the fall Stronger Together Suicide Prevention Symposium, where teachers, veterans, healthcare workers, industry partners, and community leaders gathered, and noted that more than 4,000 citizens from every walk of life have been trained in suicide awareness prevention, in person and online. Wyoming has also secured dedicated funding for 24/7 in-state answering of the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline by trained Wyoming staff.
Specific initiatives cited include the statewide WY We Care initiative and its Survivors Campaign; Virtual Crisis Care, rolled out with the Wyoming Association of Sheriffs and Chiefs of Police and support from the Helmsley Charitable Trust, equipping law enforcement officers with dedicated tablets to connect people in distress directly with behavioral health professionals; and the new statewide Rural Health Transformation Program to expand telehealth and other behavioral health models. The op-ed also cites the Senior Life Solutions outpatient program at Memorial Hospital of Carbon County for older adults, Ortus Foundation programs in schools, evidence-based practices and training at the University of Wyoming, and veteran-to-veteran peer support programs.
Gordon said he recently hosted a Western Governors' Association workshop in Jackson focused on reducing the stigma around mental health and expanding access to care, commending WGA Chair Governor Josh Green and his Health Beyond Healthcare chair's initiative. "We have made progress, but we are not done. The stakes are too high," he wrote. "Let's keep talking. Let's keep listening. Together we will make a difference."
