Episode Details

Tulsa County is revolutionizing juvenile detention by launching the first-ever dedicated mental health program in the state, thanks to a groundbreaking partnership with CREOKS. Under new leadership, the facility has gone from zero mental health services to offering one inpatient bed and 24/7 pediatric psychiatric care — all set to begin July 1. This initiative addresses a critical gap, as most detained teens face serious mental health needs, often forcing them to be sent out of state. With $171,000 in initial funding approved by county commissioners and efforts underway to secure full grant coverage, this program promises to provide essential, stigma-free care — paving the way for healing and recovery for vulnerable youth right where they are.
