Abstract

In order to meet heavy service needs, and to extend preventative activities into the community as well, the Wyandotte County Mental Health and Guidance Center has developed a wide variety of methods and programs. Each of these programs has ties into the community, and derives assistance and collaboration from community agents. Included here is a description of the following programs: rapid evaluation procedures and short-term therapy methods for children and adults; suicide prevention telephone service; consulting and educative activities; prevention and early detection; research and evaluation; training; and a staff sensitivity group.
