The BMS Project

PRACTICAL GUIDE TO

MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES

KANSAS CITY, MO

PROFESSIONAL ASSISTANCE AND RESOURCES:

Situations that may involve mental illness require professional, qualified diagnoses. The BMS Project does not perform mental illness diagnoses, nor provide crisis intervention services. We strive to provide referrals to mental health professionals and service providers who can provide diagnoses and subsequent treatment services – including counseling.
