Our team had a wonderful time at the 2026 National Conference on Guardianship in Washington, D.C.! We enjoyed connecting with others who share our commitment to guardianship and celebrating the work happening across the country.

It was especially meaningful to attend during National Guardianship Awareness Month!

Today is World Mental Health Day. It’s a chance to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and provide resources and support.

Wyoming Guardianship Corporation’s Substance Abuse & Mental Health Ombudsman Program (SAMHOP) helps people affected by mental health and substance use concerns connect with resources and navigate behavioral health systems. SAMHOP does not provide treatment, but it can help people understand their options and work through barriers to care.

If you or someone you know needs help finding resources or navigating the system, contact Bethany LeFrancois, SAMHOP Ombudsman:

📞 307-630-4583 or 888-857-1942

Let’s keep the conversation going and support a world where everyone can seek help with dignity and respect.

October is National Down Syndrome Awareness Month, a time to build understanding and celebrate the importance of acceptance and inclusion.

People with Down syndrome are more than a diagnosis. Each person has their own strengths, interests, goals, and abilities. Stereotypes can create barriers, but respect, opportunity, and inclusion help people take part in their communities and live life on their own terms.

This month and throughout the year, let’s listen, learn, and help create a Wyoming where people with Down syndrome are welcomed, respected, and included.

October is National Guardianship Awareness Month!

Throughout the month, we’ll be sharing more about guardianship, answering some of the questions we hear most often, and introducing you to the WGC team members who work behind the scenes to support our clients every day.

One question we often hear: Is guardianship permanent?

Not always. Some guardianships remain in place throughout a person’s life, while others may be modified or terminated when circumstances change.

Guardianship involves rights that have been removed, restricted, or delegated by a court. An important part of effective guardianship is recognizing when a person may be able to exercise more of those rights independently. Regular review helps determine whether the guardianship continues to be necessary and whether restoration of some or all rights may be appropriate.

At WGC, we believe guardianship should provide the support a person needs while respecting their rights, choices, and independence to the greatest extent possible.

We look forward to sharing more with you throughout the month!

October is National Guardianship Awareness Month!

This month, we recognize the guardians who offer steady support, thoughtful advocacy, and care to the people they serve.

At the heart of guardianship is the person: their voice, preferences, relationships, and hopes for the future. It’s a chance to celebrate the people who stand beside them and the dignity, belonging, and connection every person deserves.

We’re grateful to all who help people feel heard, respected, and included in their communities.
