Stephanie Roberts on the impact of her sexual trauma and addiction (re-release)

M4A•Bölüm sayfası

Stephanie is a native Oklahoman who, in childhood, experienced a sexual trauma that went unaddressed, resulting in a crescendo-like progression of events that ultimately culminated in the loss of her children, her home, her dignity.

Humanity stepped in, knowing that everyone has value and possibility, and took a chance on her. And now she is the one reminding others in the shoes she once wore, that they, too, have value and possibility.

This was such a good conversation, worthy of a re-release in our 2025 Season 1 batch of MHAOK staff success stories. It’s important to note that this conversation touches on sexual trauma and loss. While it’s critical dialogue to have, we understand that it could be difficult for some listeners.

If you or someone you love is struggling with mental health concerns, please call one of our free mental health assistance center lines at 405.943.3700 or 918.585.1213 Monday through Friday from 8:30 to 5pm, or contact us via www.mhaok.org. Additionally, if you or someone you know is in crisis, you can call or text 988 24/7.

Andrea Clevenger battled several addictions and homelessness 42:08

7 weeks önce42:08

Today, we're talking with Andrea Clevenger, Community Response Team Case Manager for Mental Health Association Oklahoma. Andrea started with the agency as a Peer Recovery Support Specialist on the original Street Outreach team nearly two years ago before being promoted to Case Manager on our Community Response team – a partnership with the City of Oklahoma City. Both teams are critical components to ending homelessness in our state. She, herself, experienced homelessness for many years as she struggled with myriad addictions, which, along with an unwavering commitment to service, contributes to her professional success. It was an honor to talk in-depth with Andrea about her journey of housing, healing and wholeness, and to learn about the mottos that guide her – and in turn, guide her clients. We are grateful to have Andrea on, today, as she shares her story with us. She is brave. She is genuine. She is a joy to share space with. She referenced her friend who works at 988, and we’d be remiss not to remind the listeners that 988 is a free resource staffed with mental health experts who can assist you or someone you know with a mental health crisis. It’s mental health’s version of 911. They can be reached 24/7 by calling or texting 988. Additionally, if you are in a non-emergent situation and you need assistance finding mental health care or substance use treatment, you can call our Mental Health Assistance Center at 918.585.1213 or 405.943.3700 Monday through Friday from 8:30 to 5pm or complete the form on our website at www.mhaok.org .…

Today, we're talking with Kellie Gregory, Program Manager for our Tulsa Street Outreach team. Kellie was born into instability, with a mom and stepfather who battled drug addiction and were in and out of prison. She was a teen mom who went on to spend twenty-two years struggling with homelessness, addiction and the carceral system herself, before entering Women in Recovery. Kellie’s story is one of both grit and grace, and it allows her to connect with the people she serves every day. She has source value from her lived experience and uses it to help others in need. This conversation with Kellie shines a spotlight on how effective diversion programs and support systems are, and we are grateful for her coming on. In the conversation, she referenced sourcing donations for individuals coming out of homelessness. If you would like to help, please email donations@mhaok.org . If you see someone experiencing homelessness, let us know via the Street Outreach and Rapid Response page of our website: www.mhaok.org , and if you or someone you know needs substance use or mental health care resources, give us a call at 918.585.1213 or 405.943.3700, or again, let us know via our website at www.mhaok.org .…

Today, we're talking with Shay Seals, Service Coordinator for MHAOK’s Long Term Supportive Housing program in Oklahoma City. Shay recently celebrated her one-year anniversary with the Association after two bouts of homelessness and the realization that she wanted a more meaningful career. She and her young daughter spent too many months living out of her car (before a willful surrender), shelters and motels when she had the money. Shay’s story highlights the importance of financial management education and how so many people are only a paycheck or two away from homelessness Her story also shows how honest self-reflection, hard work, and most importantly, a solid support system, is integral to rebuilding your life. Her demeanor is grounding, her outlook inspiring. We really appreciate how Shay uses her experiences for the benefit of others – both in her openness here and in the work she does every day. If you see someone experiencing homelessness, you let us know via the Street Outreach and Rapid Response page of our website: www.mhaok.org.…

Today, we're talking with Jay Johnson, Tulsa Housing Case Manager for Mental Health Association Oklahoma. Jay’s relation with us began a couple of years ago when he, himself, was living on the streets and battling addiction. He is a shining example of why Housing First is so important and effective.

His drive is strong and his positivity is contagious. After this recording, Jay emailed a follow-up thought: He wants anyone who may be struggling right now to know that if they connect with us and utilizes the services offered at MHAOK, they will be supported as they work to achieve their goals.
