📰 ON THE BLOG: OJA expanding access to mental health care for young Oklahomans made possible through ARPA-SLFRF OMES would like to recognize its partners at the Office of Juvenile Affairs (OJA) for their progress at Pivot in expanding access to youth counseling services with the opening of the newly renovated Goodrich Counseling Center. The state Legislature allocated $30,672,000 from the American Rescue Plan Act's State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund (ARPA-SLFRF) to OJA to address education disparities through academic, social and emotional services to the youth of Oklahoma. According to Jennifer Goodrich, president and CEO of Pivot, nearly $1.2 million of the allotted amount has been disbursed to OJA for the renovations to the counseling center. 🗨️ From Goodrich: “Any time you can open up capacity, you are able to serve more people which can serve our community more at large. This has given us an opportunity to become better partners with OJA and having their support shows the community that private and public entities can work together for the greatest impact.” 🔗 Read the full blog post: https://lnkd.in/gE-i9MPr
