The phone number for Big Horn County residents wanting free mental health sessions has changed. County prevention specialist Travis Sylvester updated the commissioners at their Dec. 19 meeting.
The new phone number is 307-777-8788. The free sessions are for the ag, farming and rodeo communities in the county, which as Sylvester points out, is just about every resident. “It’s incredible…six free sessions,” he said. “That’s the thing we hear all the time. The stigma. People don’t want to walk into a mental health clinic. Then also concerns of cost. Six free sessions can go a long way.”
Sylvester also shared that the BHC Prevention Alliance is hosting a mental health night at a Rocky Mountain-Lovell basketball game. A bingo game is planned. He said the night would be in partnership with the North Big Horn Hospital.
