Summary of what Oklahoma is doing:

The state plan is now completed and has been submitted to the Oklahoma Legislature, which passed a bill last month creating the Youth Suicide Prevention Council. This council will oversee the implementation of the state plan and will provide technical assistance to communities in implementing and evaluating suicide prevention activities. The state plan and executive summary can be found at the following link listed below.
