In 2020, 52.6% of Wyoming residents who didn’t receive the mental health care they needed cited cost as the factor that prevented their seeking help. With an estimated population of more than 64,000, Cheyenne is the most populated city in the state and Wyoming’s capital. For city residents, accessing needed health care services quickly can be difficult, especially when budgets are limited. If you’re struggling to find the assistance you need in Cheyenne, mental health line options can be a temporary source of relief.
Reaching out over the phone to a Cheyenne crisis line or other phone-based mental health assistance can connect you with someone who provides a safe, confidential space to discuss your situation. You can receive information about resources available to you and start the path to recovery and the life you deserve.

WY Hotlines for Help
- Wyoming LifeLine
The Wyoming LifeLine is a member of the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline network, but callers don’t need to be at that level of crisis to call. When you call, you’ll be connected with someone local who’s trained to offer you emotional support and a safe place to share your experience. Everything said remains completely confidential unless the counselor feels your life is in danger and you need a first responder. You’re also free to make the call anonymously if that allows you to be open about your situation.
Call: 988 - NAMI Wyoming
Wyoming’s division of NAMI is available to provide access to local resources designed to assist with mental illness and situations that lead to mental distress. As the state chapter of the NAMI, all efforts are Wyoming-focused, and the staff is made up of Wyoming residents who understand the unique challenges faced by people within the state. Calling the direct number will let you receive information about support group and class schedules, as well as connect you with resources in your area that you can follow up with for more extensive help.
