(KMZA)--The Nemaha Valley Community Hospital, in Seneca, is among 15 organizations across Kansas awarded grant funding to address the ongoing crisis of suicide in the state.
Governor Laura Kelly's Office announced last week that the Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services (KDADS), through its Kansas Community Suicide Prevention Grant program, has awarded a total of $525,000 toward the effort.
The 15 organizations have received $35,000 each to develop community-specific strategies to prevent suicide among at-risk Kansans.
According to a release, the expansion of suicide prevention efforts across Kansas is strengthened by the allocation of $1.5 million in state general funds to KDADS’ Behavioral Health Services Commission by Governor Kelly in fiscal year 2023.
Kelly said improving mental health in every community is essential to creating a healthy, thriving Kansas.
