A new report from a mental health advocacy group says Kansas is one of the states with the deepest cuts in mental health spending. As Kansas Public Radio’s Bryan Thompson reports, only seven states and the District of Columbia had sharper reductions over the past four years.
Bryan Thompson has been KPR's Health Reporter since 2000. He's a lifelong Kansan, and a graduate of Wichita State University. He's been involved in radio news longer than he'd care to admit, serving as news director at stations in El Dorado, Liberal, and Salina before joining KPR. He and his wife, Cindy, are the parents of six outstanding children--one of whom now looks down on them from above. In his spare time, Bryan enjoys music and sports.
