I had the opportunity yesterday to attend the Second Annual Governor's Symposium on Suicide Prevention. I attended last year as well. Wyoming definitely has some specific challenges in this area, and I am grateful the issue is at least being discussed in a proactive manner.
My thanks to all who made the day possible. I have much to learn in regard to mental health, depression, and the warning signs a person may exhibit when they are in crisis. These symposiums have heightened my awareness and have started my path toward greater study. Being involved in ministry does not make a person an expert in these arenas, but a basic understanding can certainly enhance our ability to reach out and be of service when people are in need.
