"THE NET"
For almost 35 years, HopeNet has been a beacon of hope in Wichita—bringing healing, stability, and hope where it’s needed most. That is why as part of our services, we offer engagement resources. The “net” of HopeNet is meeting a client right where they are by helping them resolve an immediate crisis, find stability, and connect them to other community resources. We have a network of over 400 different local partnerships established that provide skilled resources and expertise. Some examples of our partnerships and ways we can help are listed to the right.
We want Wichita to be well…ALL of Wichita. Working together to make this happen is imperative! The map below highlights the 10 zip codes in our city facing the greatest economic hardship. In these communities, limited resources and mental health challenges often go hand in hand. We believe a healthier future is possible. Together, we can change the story for our city by investing in the wellness of every person…so that every neighborhood, every family, and every individual has the chance to thrive.
