We are Oklahoma’s largest network of
mental health providers.
The mission of the Alliance of Mental Health Providers of Oklahoma is to advocate for better mental health and substance abuse treatment in Oklahoma.
The Work of Our Members
Coordinate Care
Together, Alliance members have accepted a bold, new charge. In addition to providing mental health and substance abuse services for persons with serious mental illness, they are now coordinating whole-person integrated medical care to improve overall health outcomes for adults and youth.
Provide Immediate Access to Care
We believe individuals in a crisis need help when they need it. Providing immediate access to services and early crisis intervention is the first line of defense in preventing tragedies, saving lives, saving tax-payer dollars and community resources.
Provide Hope and Pathways to Self-Sufficiency
Alliance members help individuals access resources to achieve self-sufficiency and well-being, which are often hampered by low-income-related burdens.
