Percentage of Population with Mental Illness, Incarcerated and Veterans The Cost of Untreated Mental Illness
Health Care Foundation of Greater Kansas City 2012 Study
“The Costs of Untreated Mental Illness in Greater Kansas City”
Study quotes:
A high proportion, 87.5%, of these costs is in the form of indirect costs to employers and individuals. Indirect costs include unrealized earnings due to higher unemployment rates, the cost of lost productive time at work due to untreated SMI (presenteeism), time missed from work (absenteeism), and unrealized earnings due to permanent disability or premature death (suicides)
Those with severe mental illness are 10 times more likely to become incarcerated compared to the general population.
One barrier might be reluctance to consider mental illness on par with physical illnesses. However, in the Surgeon General’s report on mental health, major depression was the second-leading source of disease burden worldwide, behind only heart disease.
Some might argue that state and local governments cannot afford to improve the treatment rate of the seriously mentally ill. This economic model shows that improving the treatment rate for the mentally ill is something they cannot afford to ignore.

11. Recommendations
Annual conference call among interested Heartland state agencies, federal agencies, state NAMI, and national NAMI
Review common areas of concern
Discuss potential solutions
Request that DOJ collect and report on this data beginning in FY 2016
State of Kansas consider 2015 legislation to provide:
Diversion programs to keep people with Mental Illness out of the criminal justice system connecting them with mental health treatment;
Therapeutic care (prescribed mediations and counseling) for incarcerated offenders living with mental illness;
If incarcerated, benefits such as Medicaid (KH&E) and Food Stamps (DCF) will be suspended in lieu of cancelled;
Discharge planning linking people with mental illness to community based services upon their release from correctional facilities including reinstatement of any suspended services;
KDOC and KS Counties which operate Detention Facilities collect and report data annually;
KU and / or WSU annual and random, unannounced, KDOC and KS County Detention Facilities audits; and
Require Court Services to determine veteran status of anyone charged with a crime and if convicted their status must become part of their incarceration profile instead of relying on “self-identification”. Requires access to Veteran’s data similar to HB2655

12. Recommendations - KS County Sheriffs & Wyandot Inc.
Issue: Continuation of Therapeutic Mental Health Care when Discharged
Statue requiring engagement of Community Mental Health Services prior to discharge and continuation of Therapeutic Mental Health Care
Issue: Larned Correctional Mental Health Facility is typically full, understaffed and a long distance for Eastern Counties
Evaluate use of Johnson County Detention Center in lieu of Larned for Eastern Counties
Issue: Crisis Intervention Training needed for all KS jurisdictions
Recommend that CIT International evaluate CIT needs for counties that implement or have implemented CIT; should not be unfunded mandate
Recommend that KDADS establish a fund for “seed” money to assist a county or city to establish or improve CIT. Use a “grant” process to request and select
Enact Warrantless Apprehension for Law Enforcement
Allow detention up to 3 days in a mental health facility deemed suitable by the local mental health authority.
Need for Regional Acute Care Centers similar to Rainbow
KDADS is working on this capability using funds announced in the Governor’s May 27th initiative
