Opportunity Overview
Wyoming behavioral-health funding. The Wyoming Department of Agriculture maintains a Mental Health Counseling Voucher Program to help people working in Wyoming agriculture, rodeo, and farming communities obtain counseling support. The Department continues to list the program under Wyoming Ag Stress and posted updated counseling-availability material in August 2026.
Funding and Service Period
Current program information describes reimbursement for up to six counseling sessions for eligible individuals. The currently published materials do not state a universal per-session or per-person dollar maximum, so Atlas does not infer one. Reimbursement is available for qualifying counseling services rendered through December 30, 2026.
Eligibility
Mental health professionals licensed in Wyoming may submit for reimbursement on behalf of clients working in agriculture, rodeo, and/or farming communities in the state. Voucher funding is intended to reduce the cost barrier to counseling for Wyoming agricultural communities.
Submission Requirements
Current program instructions direct licensed providers to submit invoices and a completed W-9 for reimbursement consideration. Invoices should identify the licensed mental health professional, cost per session after any insurance coverage, dates of service, and the client’s connection to an eligible industry, while excluding personal client information. Current reimbursement materials identify Sheila Ricley at Align as the submission contact.
Deadline
The current program period runs through December 30, 2026. The controlling Wyoming Department of Agriculture page does not publish an exact closing time or timezone, so Atlas does not invent one. Providers should submit qualifying reimbursement materials before the end of the published program period.
Atlas Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score: 63/100. This is a narrow but directly relevant Wyoming behavioral-health funding pathway because it pays for counseling access for agricultural communities. Its strategic value is limited by the small service scope and provider-reimbursement structure rather than a conventional organizational project grant.
N9+ Fit Score: 0/100. This program reimburses mental health counseling services and does not provide a defensible pathway for Nonagon N9+ equipment or platform costs. Atlas should not force an N9+ fit.
Direct Vendor Review
Dr. Miltie is not a supported direct applicant pathway based on the published eligibility rules. A reimbursement request must come through an appropriately licensed Wyoming mental health professional providing qualifying counseling services. No direct Dr. Miltie or QC Healthcare submission should be advanced without independently verified Wyoming professional licensure and program eligibility.
