Mental Health America of South Central Kansas

Think about how impactful it might be to turn a $60 co-pay into a $10 co-pay. This $50 difference comes from our Access to Care (ATC) program, and can turn a therapy appointment from a financial burden into a sustainable option for receiving mental healthcare. The ATC program can only exist when our fellow Wichitans make the decision to truly value the ways that mental health shapes our neighborhoods and workplaces every day.

Look for signs of seasonal depression in your staff and remember that - though seasonal - mood and behavior changes can be as dangerous as any other bout of depression. If you think you have reason to be worried, then you probably. Make sure you're checking in!

Untreated mental illness costs Wichita-area employers $7,000/employee/year in lost bottom-line profits. Most of that comes from your staff either being unaware of resources available to them, or from an unwillingness to seek those resources due to the stigma of mental illness. MHA can help you address those concerns to create a healthier and more profitable culture. Call to learn how at 316.651.1241
