Welcome

WELCOME TO SOUTHWEST GUIDANCE CENTER

Southwest Guidance Center is your Kansas-licensed Community Mental Health Center serving Haskell, Meade, Seward, and Stevens Counties in Southwest Kansas since 1964.

In early 2022, Southwest Guidance Center began the process of implementing the Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) model of care with an emphasis on evidence-based practices, continuous quality improvement, and measurable outcomes for both our clients and our agency. We are dedicated to providing the highest quality behavior healthcare currently available and are on track to fully implement the CCBHC model by July 1, 2024.
