social services

At the end of this month, the Oklahoma County Social Services Department is disbanding, but the Senator who authored the bill spurring the dissolution says the legislation he pushed is not being correctly interpreted.

Oklahoma’s nearly 6,000 licensed social workers are only meeting about two-thirds of the state’s mental health needs. That’s partly because state standards make it harder to get licensed.

Thanks so much to Colin Cummings (Six Car Pub & Brewery) and Amy Dixon (HMIS Program Coordinator at the City of Amarillo's Community Development Office)…
