"I was nervous to meet with someone I had never met to discuss such personal and intimate subjects, but it gets easier every time, no doubt because of how understandingly -but still professionally- I was treated on every occasion. Almost immediately I understood that I was here to be helped and guided and healed, not just to be listened to, which is certainly reassuring."

In everyday life, we all face challenges.
Sometimes the pressure, stress, and responsibilities are too much to manage alone. These challenges can sometimes lead to self-doubt, depression, anxiety, or other mental health problems. SENT believes that part of seeing wholistic transformation of a community is also addressing mental health and emotional needs.
The National Alliance on Mental Illness reports that 1 in 4 individuals experience mental health problems each year. 420,000 adults in Kansas have a mental health condition. That’s more than 3x the population of Topeka. In February 2021, 36.5% of adults in Kansas reported symptoms of anxiety or depression. 21.7% were unable to get needed counseling or therapy. 48.7% of Kansans aged 12–17 who have depression did not receive any care in the last year.*
Kansans often struggle to get the help they need. More than half of people with a mental health condition in the U.S. did not receive any treatment in the last year. Of the 153,000 adults in Kansas who did not receive needed mental health care, 51.8% did not because of cost. 9.2% of people in the state are uninsured. Kansans are over 3x more likely to be forced out-of-network for mental health care than for primary health care — making it more difficult to find care and less affordable due to higher out-of-pocket costs. 1,383,258 people in Kansas live in a community that does not have enough mental health professionals.*
Mental health should be affordable and accessible for everyone.
