In an effort to provide resources to the Leavenworth, Lansing and KCK communities as we -- together -- protect our families and save lives, I am providing information to frequently asked questions that I am receiving from friends, family and constituents about COVID-19.
You can view the complete list of resources at www.votepittman.com/covid19.
Social distancing, fear, financial and food insecurity, disruption of schedule, and stress can cause a feeling of isolation and other mental health concerns.
“While we’re focused on our physical health care, and protecting ourselves from getting the coronavirus, we need to start paying attention to the mental health impact of this, because this is a global trauma that’s happening,” says Randy Callstrom, president and CEO of Wyandot Behavioral Health Network in Wyandotte County.
Let’s all stay in touch with friends and family. If you’re struggling- below are some numbers you can call for help.
Kansas suicide and crisis hotline is 1-800-784-2433 or 1-800-273-8255.
In Leavenworth, Jefferson and Atchison counties you can call the Guidance Center at 888-260-9634. The Guidance Center has a crisis clinic during the day at 913-682-5118.
For Wyandotte County residents, call the Wyandot Center for Community Behavioral Healthcare at 913-788-4200.
