Grant Summary and Timeline: The Participating Community Mental Health Center Contract is the primary funding contract for COMCARE from the State of Kansas Department of Aging and Disability Services (KDADS). The contract establishes COMCARE as a participating community mental health center (CMHC), and also designates it as the mental health authority for Sedgwick County. The agreement describes the responsibilities, compensation amounts, and the necessary services COMCARE must provide as a participating mental health center. These services include case management, attendant care, psychosocial rehabilitation, and an array of crisis services, which COMCARE must make available to adults with a severe and persistent mental illness, and to children with a serious emotional disturbance. The contract also includes performance outcomes COMCARE must achieve through its community mental health services.
This year's funding amount has decreased by about $6,000.00 from last year. Another change in this year's agreement is the inclusion of state aid in the Participating CMHC agreement. Where in past years state aid was provided in a separate contract.
