The City of OKC and Oklahoma City Public Schools each received competitive grants from the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration to address a significant and growing need for mental health support for children and young people across the city.

Healthy Minds facilitated collaboration in Oklahoma City and Tulsa that led to the launch of two new crisis diversion programs.

The Center’s launch and initial efforts are made possible by a $5.57 million Legacy Grant from Oklahoma’s Tobacco Settlement Endowment Trust (TSET).

Our 2025 impact report highlights legislative achievements and community collaboration that advanced access to mental health care across Oklahoma.

Healthy Minds brings state policy expertise to the coalition, whose members coordinate policy engagement and support implementation focused on integrated care, workforce capacity, and measurement-informed care.

Now, Oklahoma City’s mental health leadership team will use the report findings as a guide to select and implement the evidence-based interventions the community needs to add to its array of mental health and substance use services to better meet residents’ needs across the lifespan.
