Subcommittees and Task Forces of the Governor's Behavioral Health Services Planning Council

Much of the work of the Kansas Council is done by citizen volunteers that are members of subcommittees established to report and make recommendations to the Council. The work of these subcommittees has been vital to recommendations of multiple legislative commissions, including the Mental Health Modernization and Reform Committee.

Through the Council, these Subcommittee recommendations are reported to the Secretary of KDADS. The Council may also form special task forces to make recommendations. 

Previous special task forces established under recommendation of the Secretary of KDADS included: 

• The Adult Continuum of Care Task Force
  • Adult Continuum of Care Report 2015
  • Adult Continuum of Care Task Force Update to the 2015 Report January 2017
• The Children’s Continuum of Care Task Force
  • Children's Continuum of Care Task Force Report Dec. 2017

 Currently, the Council receives updates and recommendations from the following subcommittees: 

 A new subcommittee representing the Aging population will begin convening in 2023.

 If you are interested in participating in one of the subcommittees, please contact [email protected] and she will forward your information to the subcommittee chair.
