Background:
Oklahoma ranks 48th in mental health care provided to our citizens and approximately 10% of our population are Veterans. This Mental Health Summit allows the VA and community partners the opportunity to work together to enhance access to mental health services for Veterans.

Local government human services, community mental health agencies, and other organizations will be participating. The purpose of the Mental Health Summit is to bring together these key stakeholders in the community with the goal of enhancing the mental health and wellbeing of Veterans, their families and their caregivers.

Topics at this year's Mental Health Summit include military culture sensitivity, families in transition, spirituality in mental health, suicide prevention and post-traumatic growth.

Organizers and attendees will be available for interviews.
