May is Mental Health Awareness Month

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, providing us with a valuable opportunity to raise awareness about mental health and wellness for Oklahomans.

As leaders in your local communities, we encourage you to join the 988 Oklahoma Mental Health Lifeline movement and help spread the message about the importance of prioritizing mental health, not just during this month but beyond.  

988 is a direct, three-digit lifeline connecting individuals with trained Oklahoma behavioral health professionals who can help them.

We want to make sure every Oklahoman has the chance to prioritize their emotional wellness and gain free and confidential mental health support by texting or calling 988. To assist in spreading this importance message, we have partnered with 988 to create a compregensive toolkit for Oklahoma Municipalities. This toolkit contains ready-to-use social media posts, email copy and visuals, enabling you to effectively share mental health support through your official channels (be sure to tag @988Oklahoma).  You can access the toolkit by clicking here.
