QPR Training
Question. Persuade. Refer.
Just as people trained in CPR and the Heimlich Maneuver help save thousands of lives each year, people trained in QPR learn how to recognize the warning signs of a suicide crisis and how to question, persuade, and refer someone to help. Please join your colleagues who have completed this training and help prevent suicide.
To sign up, contact destini.s@okcic.com
End Opioid Overdose
As part of OKCIC’s prevention efforts, we are passionate about making sure anyone who is affected by opioid use disorder has access to naloxone (also known by the brand name Narcan).
Naloxone is a prescription medicine that reverses an opioid overdose by temporarily bumping opioids off their receptors. It cannot be used to get high and is not addictive. Naloxone is safe and effective; emergency medical professionals have used it for decades.
Surgeon General Jerome M. Adams is urging more Americans to keep naloxone on hand and learn how to use it to save lives in the first national public health advisory in thirteen years.
Bottom line: it saves lives.
To sign up for a training to receive Narcan, please contact (405) 948-4900 ext. 610.
For more information about substance or alcohol use prevention, receive educational packet or local resources for detox and inpatient treatment, please contact (405) 948-4900 ext. 610.

OKCIC patients of all ages are eligible for Behavioral Health’s services.
People who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender (LGBTQIA2S+) are members of every community. They are diverse, come from all walks of life, and include people of all races and ethnicities, all ages, all socioeconomic statuses, and from all parts of the United States. The perspectives and needs of LGBTQIA2S+ people should be routinely considered in public health efforts to improve the overall health of every person and eliminate health disparities.
In addition to considering the needs of LGBTQIA2S+ people in programs designed to improve the health of entire communities, there is also a need for culturally competent medical care and prevention services that are specific to this population. Social inequality is often associated with poorer health status, and sexual orientation has been associated with multiple health threats. Members of the LGBTQIA2S+ community are at increased risk for a number of health threats when compared to their heterosexual peers [1-5]. Differences in sexual behavior account for some of these disparities, but others are associated with social and structural inequities, such as the stigma and discrimination that LGBTQIA2S+ populations experience.
These pages provide information and resources on some of the health issues and inequities affecting LGBTQIA2S+ communities. Links to other information sources and resources are also provided. Some of this information is designed for members of the general public. Other information has been developed for health care providers, public health professionals, and public health students.
If you are a transgender patient and need assistance navigating through the health system, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us at (405) 948-4900 ext. 469.
