This is Rachel.

Rachel is a busy mother of three active kids.

When Rachel first arrived at GRAND, she was a homeless addict and her kids were in foster care for the third time.

We see 'Rachels' every day. Real people, not delinquents, castaways, or criminals, just desperately needing a little help to get back on their feet.

“Behind every substance abuse statistic or data point, there is a story. A mom or dad, son or daughter, sister, brother, neighbor, friend - a real person worthy of a chance to recover.” – Josh Cantwell, CEO GRAND Mental Health

GRAND works tirelessly to transform lives – one Rachel at a time.

Great to see our community partners, Salvation Army's Tulsa Area Command, on FOX23 News In-Depth. This important discussion around how to help people experiencing homelessness is a must-watch.

Homelessness in Oklahoma is at a crisis level, and agencies like GRAND, The Salvation Army Tulsa, OK, Tulsa Day Center and many more are working together to help get people back on their feet.

October is Substance Use & Misuse Prevention Month. Prevention works by strengthening protective factors and reducing risk factors ― in individuals, families, schools, communities and society.

At GRAND, we know this. Working with our community partners, we address the behavioral and physical aspects of mental health, provide outreach services, occupational therapy and offer support for diet, physical health, substance use and housing for Oklahomans in need.

It’s not just our duty, it’s our calling.

Lots of folks stopping by our GRAND virtual booth at the 2025 Annual Zarrow Mental Health Symposium presented by Mental Health Association Oklahoma (MHAOK). The whole conference is virtual!

This year's theme is 'Pathways to Change,' and we are here for it!

For marginalized communities, the pathways to wellness are often long and complicated. Additional barriers such as a polarized political climate, social unrest, and ongoing human rights challenges can disproportionately impact vulnerable individuals and groups. Uncertainty about future policies, economic conditions, and social dynamics can create feelings of powerlessness, vulnerability, hopelessness, and fear—all of which can worsen mental health outcomes.

Yet, community members do not have to walk this path alone. Service providers, clinicians, advocates, educators, policymakers, and law enforcement each play a critical role in ensuring that no one is left behind and that everyone has a fair chance to thrive.

Congrats to MHAOK on a great event!

Good news: Thanks to last week's notice of ODMHSAS funding support, GRAND Addiction Recovery Center for Residential Treatment (ARC) is secure through June 2026. We continue to work with ODMHSAS, state legislators and other funders to assure ARC is here for long term.

What this means now is we are open now and ready to help Oklahomans start their recovery journeys today!

GRAND Mental Health is a proud partner of the Oklahoma Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services (ODMHSAS)
