Youth Mental Health
Our Youth Mental Health service provides education for 2nd-12th graders in school districts across Oklahoma. With parental consent, the Association provides free, evidence-based mental health screenings to youth in grades 5th-12th. It is used to identify both general and mental health concerns, including suicide risk. If any concerns are discovered, the parent/guardian and screener will develop a plan to connect the teen with necessary treatment and support.
Children's Behavioral Health Coalition
The Children’s Behavioral Health partnership provides leadership and ongoing collaboration to support an accessible system of care for children, youth, and families. It ensures emotional, behavioral and social wellness by promoting family-driven integrated comprehensive services. Also, under this umbrella is our Empowered Voices youth program.
Suicide Prevention Training
Our one-hour emergency QPR training intervention teaches people how to recognize and respond positively to someone exhibiting suicide signs and behaviors. QPR, a nationally recognized evidenced-based training, stands for question, persuade and refer. Trainees will learn to question the individual’s meaning to determine suicide intent or desire, persuade the person to accept or seek help and refer them to the appropriate resources.
Our QPR training will empower your business, school, faith community or civic organization to effectively intervene on behalf of someone with thoughts of suicide or who is in crisis. To schedule a QPR training for your business, school, faith community or civic organization, please click on the link below or give us a call at (918) 585-1213 or (405) 943-3700.
