Mental Health in Kansas
There are plenty of positives about living in Kansas, from the abundant farmland to the comfortable cost of living, but the state struggles when it comes to mental health care. In fact, a report from Mental Health America ranked it as the worst state in the country for mental health care in 2022.
While Kansas doesn’t necessarily have higher rates of mental illness, the problem is a lack of access to care. According to the Bureau of Health Workforce, Kansas is currently meeting just 26% of the need for mental health professionals, which is lower than the US’s national average. Cost is a factor as well – of the adults in Kansas who don’t get the mental health care they need, 52% name cost as the reason.
Unfortunately, the low access to care is reflected in Kansas’s fatalities. Kansas has a much higher suicide rate than the US average: 19.4 per 100,000 people compared to the US’s 14.1 per 100,000 people.
The good news is that there are signs of improvement. There are programs and resources building throughout the state, and that Mental Health America report that ranked Kansas in 51st place in 2022 found notable improvements, moving Kansas up to 22nd place in 2023.
