Kansas Gets Grant To Address Mental Health Issues + 5 Mental Health Grants

Mental health is a major issue facing Americans all over the country. Previous to the COVID-19 pandemic, Americans were already struggling. But now it looks like this is increasingly becoming a crisis. Between lockdowns and other measures meant to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, people’s mental health is suffering. In Kansas, mental health already was an issue, with almost 4.3% of adults experiencing serious mental health issues. But many residents do not have access to proper treatment. Now, Kansas is looking to mitigate that issue through the use of a grant.

This National Suicide Prevention Lifeline’s 988 State Planning Grant, was awarded to Kansas by Vibrant Emotional Health. This is the nonprofit administrator of the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline.

Kansas plans to use this grant to improve the way that the state addresses mental health issues. The Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services will create a strategic plan to address infrastructure needs, including volume. The grant will also grant access to the Suicide Prevention Lifeline’s new 988 number.

I am pleased to see Kansas has been awarded this important grant to improve our state’s response to mental health crises,” said Governor Laura Kelly. “The pandemic has heightened the need for modern, comprehensive mental health resources across our state, and the creation of a new 988 number will help Kansans access support quickly during their times of need.”
