ABOUT US

At Kentuckiana Community Based Services, we are committed to transforming the mental health landscape—especially for those historically underserved. Addressing mental health challenges is a national priority, but for African Americans and other marginalized groups, the barriers are often higher and more deeply rooted in systemic inequality.

In many low- and middle-income communities, individuals living with mental illness face ongoing threats to their human rights. These include limited access to care, discriminatory treatment, and insufficient support for clinical and functional recovery. Beyond these tangible obstacles, stigma remains a powerful force—one that suppresses self-worth, restricts social inclusion, and undermines full participation in society.

Our mission is to dismantle these barriers by providing compassionate, culturally competent, and community-focused mental health services. We believe that every person—regardless of background—deserves access to healing, empowerment, and opportunity.

Together, we are building pathways to wellness, resilience, and dignity for all.
