Douglas County Crisis Line gains budget flexibility
Douglas County Commission approves a budget revision for the 2023 crisis line to allow funding reallocations without increasing overall spending. About half of the funding comes from the county, 44 percent from state funds, and the rest from KSPHQ which has overseen the project since April 2022. The service provides 24 seven crisis line coverage plus dispatch and referrals for Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center's mobile crisis response, which had 31 calls since its September 2022 launch.
