About the Area Mental Health Center
The Area Mental Health Center offers comprehensive behavioral
health services to the residents of Southwest Kansas. We assess and treat
people with depression and other mood disorders, anxiety disorders, chemical
dependency, life change issues, and many other emotional and personal concerns.
We provide services to our residents regardless of race, age, sex, religion,
color, national origin, disability, political affiliation or ability to
pay.
Our Center was one of the first centers in the State of Kansas to be certified by the state to provide behavioral health services. The center began in 1961 in Garden City and initially served five counties. Our service area has grown to 13 counties in southwest Kansas: Finney, Ford, Grant, Gray, Greeley, Hamilton, Hodgeman, Kearney, Lane, Morton, Scott, Stanton and Wichita. We also provide services to persons who live outside this defined area.
The Area Mental Health Center has about 40 state licensed professionals,
including psychiatrists, psychologists, clinical social workers, registered
nurses and marriage and family therapists. In addition, about 30 case
managers work in our specialized Community Support Services programs.
