Created New NOTW

Created New is a Wyoming-based organization dedicated to improving mental health outcomes through certified peer support. Founded by individuals with lived experience, we provide trauma-informed, culturally responsive services to rural communities where access to behavioral health is limited. We are finalizing or 501(c)3 status and meeting all state requirements for Medicaid billing, ensuring sustainability beyond initial grant funding. Our services include Sheridan and surrounding rural regions, where geographic isolation and provider shortages create barriers to care. Our approach blends one-on0one peer mentoring, group recovery sessions, and telehealth access, integrating with local clinics and community partners. By combining lived experience with professional training, we empower individuals to navigate recovery, reduce crisis incidents, and build lasting support networks.
