ROCMND Area Youth Services is a community based agency, which provides therapeutic behavioral services to children and their family in Northeast Oklahoma. ROCMND's name is an acronym for the counties it served when incorporated in 1976 which were Rogers, Ottawa, Craig, Mayes, Nowata, and Delaware. ROCMND was developed to meet the needs of the immediate and surrounding community for services designed and dedicated to youth. A local Board of Directors composed on 8 community leaders governs the agency.
