Mental health is an important part of overall health, but access to these resources remains a challenge for many Kansans. As an Advancement Board member, I’m proud to highlight some of the ways The University of Kansas Health System and the University of Kansas Medical Center are striving to close this gap:
- The Behavioral Health Navigator program was recently launched at the Strawberry Hill campus to help people find the mental and behavioral health professionals they need when they need them. So far, the program has served over 250 patients and has been expanded to the Marillac campus.
- The Suicide and Community Resource Program is focused on reducing suicide by educating 3000+ people on how to identify and support at-risk individuals through numerous initiatives.
- It’s estimated that half of all Kansas board-certified, practicing psychiatric providers have benefited from KU School of Medicine’s nationally recognized teaching program.
- KU Medical Center is joining forces with government agencies, schools and community partners to improve the mental health of K-12 students in Kansas. https://www.kumc.edu/about/news/news-archive/kanaware-grant-samhsa.html
