As a result of the COVID-19 stay-at-home order, Family & Children’s Services (F&CS) quickly adjusted outpatient services to telephone and teletherapy; but many F&CS staff remain on the front lines of in-person and crisis call care. Through our COPES crisis hotline, CrisisCare Center (CCC) and F&CS Pharmacy, staff provide much-needed crisis support, psychiatric respite, and stabilization and medications for Tulsa’s most seriously mentally ill adults and those in extreme psychiatric crises. All F&CS locations are taking precautionary steps to ensure the safety of staff and clients.
