The Care-A-Van will visit a different location everyday, stocked with free snacks and education on what services each person may be entitled to at no cost to them. These services may include individual counseling, family therapy, housing support, job placement assistance, court support, Medicaid enrollment, and more.The GRAND Care-A-Van Mobile Mental Health Access will be in Tonkawa on Thursday, August 29 from 9 am to 6 pm at the Tonkawa Public Library at 216 N 7th St. While appointments are not required, residence can preschedule a time with one of GRAND Mental Health’s behavioral health specialists if they wish to do so.
