​​​​​​​​​The Division of Mental Health (DMH) supports implementation of
prevention, treatment, crisis, and recovery services for Kentuckians
impacted by Serious Mental Illness (SMI), Severe Emotional Disabilities
(SED) and/or co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders.
DMH also supports behavioral health preparedness, response, and
recovery in the time of disasters, either natural or man-made.

Partnerships with community-based organizations, service providers,
universities, and state agencies provide access to quality and
evidence-based prevention, treatment, recovery, and harm reduction
services. Through the provision of federal grants and state funding,
these services are publicly available to persons across the
Commonwealth.

In addition, DMH aims to expand access to evidence-based services​
​that are accessible, available, and acceptable for all Kentuckians.
