Strengthening Partnerships, Supporting Our Community
LCMHS directors met with Labette Health providers on Tuesday, September 15, 2026, for a Lunch and Learn focused on mental health services and resources available to individuals and families in our community.
This collaborative session provided an opportunity to share information, build connections, and strengthen the partnership between LCMHS and Labette Health. Together, we are working to improve access to behavioral health resources and support better health outcomes for the communities we serve.
We appreciate Labette Health for partnering with us in this important effort!

Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is an interactive public education program. Through the course, individuals are able to learn how to identify, understand, and respond to signs of mental illness and substance use disorders. Labette Center is proud to be able to provide both the adult and youth versions of this course as well as the brand new teen MHFA.
In QPR the general public is educated about the known warning signs of a suicide crisis: expressions of hopelessness, depression, giving away prized possessions, talking of suicide, securing lethal means, and then taught how to respond.
