County promotes online budget simulator, Comcare mental-health classes
Summary
County staff announced the Sedgwick County budget simulator is open through June and encouraged residents to participate; Comcare will offer Mental Health First Aid classes on May 11 and May 15.
County staff opened the May 6 meeting by urging residents to use an online budget simulator that remains accessible through June. "It is open now," Nicole (S3) said, noting the county has partnered with Wichita State and the University of Kansas and is promoting the tool via social platforms and the county website.
Nicole also told commissioners that Comcare will host additional Mental Health First Aid classes on May 11 and May 15 and encouraged interested residents to sign up. The county said Wichita State is assisting outreach by sending emails and text reminders to county residents.
Why it matters: the simulator offers a public way for residents to weigh budget priorities ahead of the county's budgeting process, and the Comcare trainings expand local mental-health first aid capacity.
