This project created a mental health treatment locator website that includes three core components: a dynamic near-real-time registry of Kentucky mental health treatment facilities and availability; a robust directory of social service provider organizations and agencies across the Commonwealth; and a repository for informational documents and tools for education related to mental health.
The FindMentalHealthNowKY.org (FMHNKY) website, which has been integrated into FindHelpNowKY.org (FHNKY), was developed in collaboration with the Kentucky Department for Behavioral Health, Developmental and Intellectual Disabilities (DBHDID), and APAX Software.
Specific aims are to:
-
develop the FMHNKY website,
-
conduct usability testing of FMHNKY,
-
integrate FMHNKY with FHNKY,
-
recruit mental health treatment facilities to FMHNKY,
-
maintain participation of mental health treatment facilities in FMHNKY,
-
develop and update a community resources tab within FMHNKY, and evaluate FMHNKY using website user statistics and facility statistics.
