On this episode I chatted with Sheamekah Williams about mental health in Oklahoma and the mobile crisis teams around the state. As administrator of behavioral health services for ODMHSAS, she oversees and coordinates all aspects of behavioral health services for children, youth, young adults, and families across the state. Ms. Williams has overseen Oklahoma’s System of Care (OKSOC) expansion from a 17-county program serving children ages 5-18, to a statewide program serving individuals ages 0-25 across all of Oklahoma’s 77 counties. Through her leadership, the OKSOC has grown exponentially, with enrollment increasing over 1000% during her tenure. She has been the driving force behind strengthening and expanding the OKSOC – most notably, establishing mobile crisis response statewide – and building partnerships across child-serving systems including education, child welfare and juvenile justice.
