Counseling & Recovery Services of Oklahoma CMHC - Counseling & Recovery Services of Oklahoma (CRSOK) proposes to expand its crisis services to include a Crisis Response Program through the Community Mental Health Centers (CMHC) Grant Program. This program aims to treat school-aged youth experiencing behavioral health crises. CRSOK is licensed by the state of Oklahoma as a mental health and substance use disorder treatment facility for adults, families, and children in Tulsa County.

There are significant health disparities amidst Tulsa children with unmet behavioral health needs, and an increasing rate of children's crises due to the COVID-19 pandemic. CRSOK proposes to build on its existing crisis services by including immediate crisis assessment, 23:59 chairs, and triage to divert clients away from inpatient hospitals and law enforcement. The goal is to serve 500 individuals each year, totaling 1,000 over the life of the grant. This expansion will require minimal investment in infrastructure, with most of the investment going towards resources that will provide direct services to clients.

The focus of the proposed project is to increase access to youth in crisis due to the pandemic and get them back into their community without further harm or distress. The selected objectives align with the stated goals, which are:

1) Expand the capacity for immediate child crisis assessment, emergency response, and triage in Tulsa to decrease the overutilization of emergency rooms and inpatient hospitals.
2) Expand internal capacity for crisis response by establishing a Children's Crisis Response Team.

These objectives will be accomplished through the framework outlined in this grant. The project will be led by experienced and qualified personnel overseen by CRSOK's senior leadership and advised by the Board of Directors. Data collection and performance measurement will be managed, monitored, and applied to not only meet reporting requirements but also to inform broader performance assessment and continuous quality improvement efforts to enhance the programs.
