The Community Mental Health Services program provides services and support to Kentuckians with mental health conditions in an effort to improve their ability to function in the community. The Department for Behavioral Health, Developmental and Intellectual Disabilities contracts with 14 Regional Community Mental Health Centers (CMHCs) and other local entities to provide these services and supports. In addition, the Community Mental Health Services program has targeted funds to the most vulnerable citizens with behavioral health conditions. These include:

  • Adults with severe mental illness (KRS 210, KRS 202A),
  • Children/youth with severe emotional disabilities (KRS 200.501 to KRS 200.509), and
  • Uninsured or underinsured individuals with behavioral health disorders.

In accordance with KRS 210.410, CMHCs must provide mentally ill persons and persons who abuse drugs and alcohol with specific services such as: consultation and educational services to help individuals understand their illnesses and treatment options; community support programs to assist individuals with mental health conditions in developing skills that allow them to live independently within the community; outpatient services; emergency services; and inpatient services, which are generally made available through referrals to crisis stabilization units or state or community hospitals.
