Crawford County Mental Health Center Mission

To provide a wide range of mental health services that have a demonstrated need in the community, giving priority to those services, which are not or cannot be provided at an affordable rate by other sectors of the community. Crawford County Mental Health Center (CCMHC) will service all residents of Crawford County and the surrounding areas, without regard to race, age, creed, color, national origin, or economic status.

CCMHC strives to empower all individuals and families to receive basic mental health and addiction treatment services so that they may sustain life in the least restrictive environment and live life to their fullest potential as dignified and worthy human beings with rights and responsibilities as citizens of Kansas. To that end, we create, encourage, and advocate opportunities for personal change by providing consumer focused services and consumer driven interagency collaboration in Southeast Kansas.
