Kansas publishes county-specific Community Mental Health Center crisis contacts. Start with 988 during a crisis, then use the official Kansas list to locate the center serving the county. The Kansas county crisis-line directory checked September 15, 2026; no direct operational confirmation was performed.
If there is immediate physical danger, an active attempt, or a medical emergency, contact emergency services immediately.
What you can do now
Take these steps in order.
1
Call or text 988 for suicidal thoughts, emotional distress, a mental-health or substance-use crisis, or concern about another person.
2
For an active attempt, urgent medical emergency, or immediate physical danger, contact emergency services.
3
Use the Kansas state crisis-line directory to identify the Community Mental Health Center serving the county.
Use the current state directory
The Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services maintains a list of 24-hour Community Mental Health Center crisis lines by county. Because names and service arrangements can change, use the live state page instead of saving an old phone list.
Johnson and Wyandotte counties
The Kansas directory identifies Johnson County Mental Health Center for Johnson County and Wyandot Center for Community Behavioral Healthcare for Wyandotte County. Open the dedicated county pathways below for official local details.
When you call
State that the person’s location and county
Say directly if suicidal thoughts, an attempt, intoxication, weapons, or immediate danger are involved
Ask whether phone support, mobile response, walk-in assessment, or another option fits
Ask what to do if the situation gets worse while waiting
For youth and families
Tell the counselor the person’s age and whether a caregiver or trusted adult is present. Ask what youth-specific response and follow-up are available. A young person should not be asked to manage another young person’s suicidal crisis alone.
