Mental health challenges come in many forms, from all walks of life. OETA and Well Beings have put together this guide as a reference to the resources that exist nationally and in your own backyard that are available to help you or someone you care about who might be facing a mental health challenge. There is help close to home. Below we highlight community organizations that specialize in the mental health needs in Oklahoma. Although this guide isn't a complete list of all resources in our state, it can serve as a reference if you're looking for crisis providers and support organizations for youth, teens, and adults in Oklahoma. 

OETA and Well Beings are hosting a live virtual event—Oklahoma in Crisis: Identifying and Preventing Teen Suicide on Thursday, September 9 at 4 pm. Learn more here. 

If you are in a crisis or experiencing thoughts of suicide, please text the Crisis Text Line (text HELLO to 741741) or call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-TALK (8255). Both services are free and available, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Stand for the Silent 

Stand for the Silent was started in 2010 by a group of high school students in Oklahoma City, OK, after they heard the story of Kirk and Laura Smalley’s son, Ty Field- Smalley.

Stand for the Silent exists as a platform to allow Kirk and Laura to share their story, and offer education and tools that will prevent their tragedy from happening to another child and family.
