Approximately one in every 10 adults in Greater Kansas City has a serious mental illness. Although these illnesses can be effectively treated, about 40% of cases are untreated. Untreated mental illness has substantial costs on both the public and private sector. HCF contracted with The HSM Group to develop an economic model that examines the cost of untreated mental illness in our region.
