Thanks to my day job, I get a front row seat to watch the Oklahoma mental health funding crisis unfold. And plot twist! It's only getting worse.
This week, the University of Oklahoma announced it is no longer taking students in its Counseling Psychology PhD program. That doesn’t just mean that a bunch of grad students are about to get even more broke and disappointed in their choices to be a student for what seems like an eternity. It also means that one of Oklahoma’s few low-to-no cost therapy clinics is getting close to shutting down.
