We just wanted to use this space to say THANK YOU to the many people and organizations who came together for Mental Health Awareness Month during May, to help celebrate the installation of new 988 signage around the county.

A special thanks to Douglas County Sheriff’s Office and Kansas University Counseling and Psychological Services for participating in a set of videos to highlight this initiative. Through our collective efforts these videos were watched for a verified 70 hours of time online by nearly 40 thousand different users.
