WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) – Mental health care can be hard to access in Kansas. One study’s findings suggest things could be looking up.

The 2024 State of Mental Health in America report shows a big improvement in Kansas’ ranking. Kansas jumped from being the state with the worst mental health care access to number 22 in rank.

However, Mental Health America, the organization putting together the report, says this year’s report can’t be compared to previous years.
