Life of Bert Nash and the birth of the Bert Nash Clinic
Bert Nash, an Ohio State graduate who returned to Kansas, directed KU's Psycho-Educational Clinic and taught education while engaging in broad service through Kansas groups. His death in 1947 spurred a Lawrence effort that, after three years, led to the permanent Bert Nash mental health clinic with community focus. The era marked a shift from institutional care to local community based mental health services.
