Change is no small change. Here's the plea.

For all the "Jeff's" out there.

WJW Mental Health Legal Fund

P. O. Box 991

McAlester, OK 74502

WJW Mental Health Legal Fund was founded in support of the most chronic mental health cases in Oklahoma, after learning 

there is no category for mental health attorneys.  

Anywhere.

Our mission is to advocate for the indigent mentally ill and their families. This inclues raising awareness on both basic and progressive issues.

Due to Oklahoma being officially the world's biggest jailer [1][2] and an estimated 55% of all incarcerated having a serious and/more debilitating mental illness diagnosis [3][4], our nonprofit organization aims to reverse this expensive and detrimental trend, through appropriate legal representation.

A Few GOALS:

* To mainstream and raise awareness about laws, such as the Oklahoma Statute under Mental Health 43A O.S. § 1-109.1. [5]  So those that the afflicted mentally ill have lawfully designated as Treatment Advocates are universally recognized throughout the State of Oklahoma.

* To bring awareness and advocate for change, such as in the currect Federal HUD regulation that allows a criminalized mentally ill adult to lose subsidized housing, thus creating more homelessness and incarceration, due to their disability. [6]

* To advocate for mandating a simple DNA swab test developed by the Mayo Clinic, proving medication tolerance, so to prevent administering a prescription that an individual is allergic to and that woudl - instead of helping to cure their mental healht condition, would be causing more psychosis and damage. [7]

* Establish scholarships for Oklahoma law students to focus on mental health issues. WJW Mental Health Legal Fund respectfully requests financial support that will reverse the spiraling trends Okahoma is facing, would save millions of diollars in the state budget due to those suffering falling through the cracks in a perpetually broken system, and most importantly, will give these most forgotten real and tangible 

HOPE

This funding would cover hiring top tier legal scholars, functional medicine doctors, private pryshiatrists, and experts to testify to the benefits of offering more than what the State of Oklahoma can now offer to these who are the most long-term, and severely suffering. WJWMHLF will administer financial assistance, including copays for medication, therapies, or testing, help with court costs, and future plans to build care facilities modelled after the Top 30 Gold Standard facilities in other states. [8].  Since jails are now the long-term hospitals, we can and must do better. Criminalization of the mentall ill

MUST END.

We would also welcome donations on a monthly basis. If your company has matching funds, let us know and we'll figure that out.

Thank you for your support.
