Mental health services in Johnson County got a big boost from grant money recently, making it possible for county commissioners to add more than 14 full time equivalent positions in a variety of capacities. County commissioners voted earlier this month to accept more than $1.9 million in federal, state and local grant money to authorize adding jobs to such services as: a program for formerly incarcerated people with mental health or substance abuse problems; the transition to a national suicide prevention call number; services for students at Johnson County Community College.
