Every Kansan deserves the chance to live a full life. But today, 1 in 5 Kansans struggle with their mental health and thousands experience suicidal thoughts every day. It doesn’t have to be this way.
HeadQuarters Kansas is leading a movement to prevent suicide and build resilience in Kansas. Since our founding in 1969, we’ve pioneered crisis and counseling services, training, advocacy and awareness initiatives to provide help, hope and healing to all Kansans.
Together with volunteers, leaders and partners like you, we’re creating safer communities where every one of us — survivors, supporters or someone struggling — can find the connections we need to live healthy, hopeful and resilient lives.
