In August, the Association of Community Mental Health Centers of Kansas (ACMHCK), for the second year in a row, commissioned a public opinion poll of likely Kansas voters, conducted by the Remington Research Group. The results are clear. A recent public opinion poll shows that an overwhelming majority of Kansans believe that the State of Kansas needs to increase investments in the mental health system.
It shows a growing public awareness of mental health issues and strong support for taking action to ensure a strong mental health system. Mental health is about emotional health, brain health, healthy children and families, and a healthy Kansas. Please view our video and learn how Community Mental Health Centers can help.

Each of the 26 licensed CMHCs operating in Kansas have a separate duly elected and/or appointed board of directors. Each of these boards is accountable to the citizens served, its county officials, the state legislature, and the governor; and all have reporting responsibilities to the national level of government.

This aimed to restore funding balance to the Community Mental Health Center (CMHC) System as well as assist in workforce development programs to increase the number of psychiatrists who will be trained and incentivized to stay in Kansas.
The Association also requested funding for the Kansas Department of Aging and Disability Services (KDADS) to invest in community-based crisis stabilization and treatment services similar to programs commenced in Kansas City with Rainbow Services, Inc. and in Wichita with the COMCARE Crisis Center.

The state must maintain its commitment to former clients of state hospitals who have moved from institutional care to community-based services. The CMHCs have played a critical role in accomplishing significant bed reductions in our state mental health hospitals, declining from 1,003 in FY90 to 340 today.
