The Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center provides a broad range of behavioral health services in Douglas County, Kansas, including outpatient therapy, housing support, and crisis care, with a focus on accessible care for people facing mental health or substance use challenges. As the county’s designated community mental health center and a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic, it delivers integrated care regardless of diagnosis, residence, or ability to pay. Founded in honor of Professor Bert Nash, the organization began in 1951 with a small team and has grown to include a substantial staff of clinicians, psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, nurses, and support personnel.

Based in Lawrence, Kansas, the center has evolved over seven decades to address changing community needs. Today it operates as a community-focused provider within the mental health care industry, expanding its services beyond therapy to include housing and crisis support. Recent coverage notes plans to develop a new supportive housing complex in Douglas County, with land acquisition underway and an anticipated opening in 2025.
