Thank you to The Kennedy Forum for an incredible event filled with experts, HHS leaders, and those with lived experience. The discussions around innovation, IT evolution, public private partnerships, and payer transformation remind me why I took on this role. Transformative change is within reach, but to get there we need clear strategy, coordination and partnership across sectors. We don’t have time for mild or complacent when human lives, including those of our own children, are counting on our progress. #align4progress

Today I had the absolute privilege of sharing my story at the Oklahoma Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services Board Meeting. I was the most nervous I have ever been. I fought through my own insecurities and stood behind the podium like I belonged there. My cup is full! ❤️ Heather Helberg, MS, LPC-S Hope Community Services Inc.

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, columnist and entrepreneur dedicated to examining the ties between mental health and democracy.
From crisis intervention to the upstream social and structural drivers of mental health and substance use problems, state policies and practices are what can help or hurt a person’s wellbeing. What a privilege to discuss this with Illinois’s Chief Behavioral Health Officer David T. Jones and Allie Friesen, commissioner of Oklahoma’s Department of Mental Health and Substance Use Services at the The Kennedy Forum’s Alignment for Progress at The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts this week. Blue state, Red state, mental health should not be a political issue.

These resources are vital for everyone to know, whether you OR a loved one is facing a mental health or substance misuse challenge. #ServicesWithinReach
