offering community services to those families.

social work students interested in applying for positions with OKDHS.
13. OKDHS will collaborate with the Youth Services Agencies in creating a statewide vision or plan
to identify ways they can better serve families involved in child welfare as they shift their

14. In collaboration with the Oklahoma Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse
Services (ODMHSAS), OKDHS will increase the number of children involved in child welfare
services who are also served through Systems of Care. The work will begin in Year One, and
