Welcome to the Wyoming Behavioral Health Division
Developmental Disabilities Programs
We are proud to announce that our name has been changed from the Developmental Disabilities Division to the Behavioral Health Division (BHD).
The new Behavioral Health Division includes both the former MHSASD and the former Developmental Disabilities Division, as well as the Wyoming State Hospital in Evanston and the Wyoming Life Resource Center in Lander.
Organizational changes are being made at the Wyoming Department of Health to ensure needed services for Wyoming residents are delivered as successfully and responsibly as possible. Ongoing contracts and services with our providers and clients will not be interrupted.
Please bear with us as we work toward updating our website and documentation to reflect the change.
Mission
Our mission is to provide funding and guidance responsive to the needs of people with disabilities to live, work, enjoy, and learn in Wyoming communities with their families, friends, and chosen support service and support providers.
