KARP, inc., is a not-for-profit corporation representing the 13 community mental health centers located throughout Kentucky. 

KARP provides education about mental illness, chemical dependency, and developmental disabilities, and works to reduce the stigma associated with these conditions. 

KARP focuses attention on the wide array of services offered by the community mental health centers. 

KARP serves as a voice for the community mental health centers, and promotes their interests. 

KARP ensures that all Kentuckians receive the best mental health, mental retardation, developmental disability, and substance abuse services available – regardless of ability of pay.

 


OVERVIEW


In a single year, the KARP community mental health centers provide help to nearly 200,000 Kentuckians – 200,000 individuals who deserve an opportunity for happier, more productive lives. Those individuals could be your neighbors, your business associates, even your family members.

As an advocate for thousands of Kentuckians who require and rely on quality behavioral health services, the Kentucky Association of Regional Programs is essential to the Commonwealth.

 

KARP reaches all of Kentucky - Geographically and Demograhically

Every year, one in four American families, one in five children, and thousands of Kentuckians are affected either directly or indirectly by mental illness, substance abuse or developmental disabilities.

These are alarming statistics. Your entire community requires access to effective behavioral health care, prioritized as essential human services.
