Oklahoma Appoints Interim Leader for Mental Health Agency

Gov. Kevin Stitt has appointed an interim commissioner for the Oklahoma Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services following the unexpected dismissal of the previous commissioner. This decision comes just days after the abrupt change in leadership, raising questions about the direction of the agency at a critical time for mental health services in the state.

The newly appointed interim commissioner brings a wealth of experience in mental health and substance abuse issues, aiming to ensure continuity in the agency's operations. With the ongoing challenges related to mental health, including rising rates of anxiety and depression exacerbated by the pandemic, the new commissioner faces the urgent task of addressing these pressing issues.

The governor expressed confidence in the interim leader's ability to navigate the complexities of the role and to implement necessary reforms. Stakeholders in the mental health community are hopeful that this transition will lead to improved services and support for those in need across Oklahoma.
