Depression and suicidal thoughts plague coal miners in the Powder River Basin of Wyoming.

But depression and suicidal thoughts plague coal miners, in part due to anxiety about losing their way of life. Some coal mining companies have begun offering free therapy sessions, paid time off, and training to help miners discover the support they need.
