In 2023, Carl Albert State College began a partnership with the Oklahoma Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services (ODMHSAS) placing an ODMHSAS field service coordinator in the CASC Poteau campus wellness center, The Harbor. This staff member works not only across the campus, but also in the community and the region. This embedded model ensures seamless coordination and planning of services, including convening training events and leveraging resources and opportunities for effective collaboration and partnership across the region and the state. The embedded model offers a strategic support for CASC’s whole campus approach to student mental health. Both partners look forward to future growth and collaborative opportunities.
