We had a great time connecting with the community at Shamrockin’ Days! 💚

Our team was there to share information about the wide range of services we offer, including BISS, our Brief Stay Therapeutic Home Program, the Family Treatment Center, and Outpatient Services.

We’re proud to be present in the community and to help connect individuals and families with the support they need when they need it most. Our clinicians consistently go above and beyond to serve others. Way to represent Rogers County!

Our Delaware County Kansas Clinic team had a great time at the Human Services & Nonprofit Career Fair at John Brown University!

We connected with so many students interested in careers across Grand Mental Health and loved sharing what makes this work so meaningful.

Ritchie brought a creative twist by using his Dungeons & Dragons knowledge to spark new ways of thinking about mental health service delivery, while Christi highlighted the wide range of programs we offer, helping students better understand the impact of the CCBHC model.

We’re excited about the future and the potential new faces joining our mission!

✨Social Worker Spotlight ✨

In honor of Social Workers Month, it’s time to spotlight another incredible social worker making a meaningful impact in our community. Next up, Joya Cleveland.

"I am honored to be a graduate of Howard University’s School of Social Work, where I was trained to assess and deliver services on a macro level, which shaped my perspective on the critical role that social workers play in creating healthier communities. Social justice and equity are pivotal components of social work. To sustain a healthy community, we need healthy individuals. Mental health in marginalized communities has been stigmatized, and I am a firm believer that the only problems that can be solved are the problems addressed. To address social justice in the mental health field, with my social work background, I look forward to providing therapy to those who may have been overlooked by removing barriers to care. I am also dedicated to leading with equity by providing quality services to those who may have felt mental health care was beyond their grasp and by disrupting systems that diminish the role of mental health in the pursuit of total healing. Mental health is part of a communal reckoning wherever trauma has been sown. I am proud to be a GRAND therapist serving the Tulsa community. For GRAND to recognize the needs of all communities and to assign me to serve my own community as a therapist is an honor and highlights GRAND’s commitment to bringing culturally competent services to communities. Having a transformative impact on our communities makes me proud every day." -Joya Cleveland

Strengthening care where it's needed most. That's the goal of a promising new partnership between GRAND Mental Health and the Osage County Sheriff's Office.

Osage County is moving forward on a grant application that could bring two mental health professionals into the county jail. Jim Warring serves as GRAND Mental Health's First Responders Engagement Director and is a retired police officer. He says this funding “could be put to good use” and shared that similar efforts in other Oklahoma counties have already led to major improvements.
