Our Mission
At Sunshine Community Services of Tulsa, our mission is to foster a compassionate and inclusive community where everyone, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, income or housing status, has access to vital community resources and affordable mental health care. Services are provided to residents of Tulsa, OK and surrounding areas. We are dedicated to bridging the gap in mental health care services and meeting people where they are, building bridges to a brighter future.
We strive to empower low-income and houseless residents by providing access to community resources that address their immediate needs and foster long-term stability and independence. Our commitment to mental health care goes beyond mere treatment – we aim to cultivate a supportive and holistic environment that nurtures emotional well-being and resilience.
Through collaborative partnerships, volunteer engagement, and innovative programs, Sunshine Tulsa seeks to inspire positive change, one life at a time. Together, we envision a community where every individual can thrive, regardless of their economic circumstances, finding hope, dignity, and the support they need to build a foundation for a better tomorrow.
