SWEETWATER COUNTY With the tough financial times the state of Wyoming is facing, and the even tougher budget cuts being made, a program for at-risk youth is on the chopping block.
The Magellan Wraparound Program, which was started in Rock Springs, is a program for at-risk youth dealing with anything from possible displacement from the home, behavioral issues at school, to struggles with mental health.
“It’s hard for me to put into words what we do because we’ve done so many amazing things,” Kyla Maestas, Wyoming Behavioral Health Provider for Wraparound said. “There’s so much that our program does, there’s literally nothing we can’t do, but basically we work with youth who are at risk.”
