About WYSAAG

WYSAAG is an active statewide membership organization including Wyoming adults with mental health diagnoses—including those with co-occurring substance abuse diagnoses—and their families.  The Wyoming Self-Advocates Advisory Group’s mission is dedicated to advocacy for improving the systems of care.

The organization’s immediate role includes:

· Advocacy for policies and practices that benefit persons with mental illness including co-occurring substance abuse

· Promote prevention and public awareness of recovery models

· Collaborate with other agencies and organizations that promote recovery

· Increase the advocacy expertise of WYSAAG members

· Utilize best practices to develop, educate, and involve WYSAAG members with consideration of cultural issues, differences among the membership, and special needs

· Address the issues that relate to stigma for members

Membership is open to Wyoming individuals with a mental illness or co-occurring diagnosis (including the many who are in recovery) who are willing to contribute to WYSAAG’s mission.
