A new report says that higher pay, more resources, and new facilities are just a few things that would help mental health services in Wichita and Sedgwick County. The 55-page report from the Mental Health and Substance Abuse Coalition came out in late February. It lays out solutions for what some are calling a “mental health crisis” in the Wichita community. On Thursday, February 24, Leaders in Sedgwick County and the City of Wichita took a closer look. “We can make an impact, I think we can make a real positive impact and the leadership I have a lot of faith in,” said Sedgwick County commissioner Pete Meitzner. “The need is greater than what we can serve – that one to me is very telling that our staff and associates realize that the need in our community is overwhelming and I’m not making a difference that is what that says to me,” said Robyn Chadwick, Ascension Via Christi.
