CASPER, Wyo. “The word suicide is always a big elephant in the room. and in Wyoming it is actually larger than an elephant. It is like a woolly mammoth.”
Those were the words of Wyoming Rep. Rachel Rodriquez-Williams (Park County) during the Wyoming House of Representatives’ Wednesday, Feb. 3 floor session. She was advocating for legislation that would require school districts across the state to offer suicide prevention training programs for students.
