The initial steps towards change were made as Oklahoma conducted a state wide assessment of the mental health and substance abuse needs within the state. In response to the areas identified in the Needs Assessment, Oklahoma developed a Comprehensive State Plan to address the needs identified. It is this plan that will serve as a roadmap towards changeing the way mental health and substance abuse services are delivered within our state. Since both of these documents are "living" works, please feel free to follow the links below to review and provide any comments you may have concerning these tools.
All change must start from within. It is with this in mind that Oklahoma has assembled 6 workgroups consisting of service providers, service recipiants, and key stakeholders, all of whom are change agents in their own right. These members have been brought together to be the catylist for change in their respective areas. These workgroups have been charged with leading the state on it's journey of transformation with the Comprehehsive Plan as their roadmap.
Change is taking place! Follow the link to find out more about the workgroups and how YOU can participate!
