‘Safety Moment’ videos to promote health and wellness

The Wyoming Department of Health (WDH) has launched a “safety moment” video series to help lead workplace discussions on substance use and mental health.

Known as “Let’s Talk Wyoming,” the short, informative videos are free to watch and share online at LetsTalkWY.org, which is included on the WDH website.

“Our goal with these videos is to offer bite-sized information on substance use and mental health that is easy to understand and incorporate into daily routines,” said Rachel Nuss, Community Prevention Unit manager with WDH. “It’s an effort meant to help improve workplace safety and wellbeing.”

Nuss noted Wyoming continues to have one of the highest suicide rates in the country and heavy industry workers typically have higher rates of substance use. 

The Let’s Talk Wyoming Safety Moment Video Series is designed to empower individuals and organizations to take simple but effective steps that can reduce risks, help prevent accidents and promote overall wellness.
