Background:
In June of 2024, the Fire Department staff recommended to the City Council a pilot program to contract with Family and Children Services (FCS) to provide crisis prevention and mitigation services for the Broken Arrow community through a co-responder program called Carelink. City Council approved this program at their June 17, 2024, meeting. The program was implemented in the late summer of 2024 and has been active since then. FCS provided one fulltime licensed staff member for the first year of the program at no cost. Over the last year, the caseload and referral numbers have continued to increase.
In the spring of 2025, staff began negotiating to continue the program. The renewal of the Intra-agency Agreement and addition of the Carelink Contract expands the services provided by FCS to include one fulltime (40 hours/week) supervised therapist (master’s degree) and one halftime (20 hours/week) case manager (bachelor’s degree).
Cost: $81,000
