We’ve just begun the largest transition to our mental health and addiction treatment system in over 50 years! We are very proud of how our partners have embraced this change and are willing to continuously work to perfect it. 👏
American Rescue Plan Health and Human Services Subcommittee meeting unanimously approved @ODMHSASINFO requests to build two new hospitals that will replace the current TCBH and GMH facilities. Proposals now head to the full committee. Excited to see where we’re headed!
Our state’s 988 initiative gives hope and assistance to anyone who is experiencing crisis, suicidal thoughts, depression, anxiety and more.
I welcome you to follow @ODMHSASINFO & @988okla to learn more. #ShiftFromStigma
