Lawyers Helping Lawyers Foundation

Preparations are well underway for the Lawyers Helping Lawyers Foundation Cornerstone Banquet and Auction set for March 27 at the bar center in Oklahoma City. Word is spreading fast about the important work the Lawyers Helping Lawyers Assistance Program Committee and LHL Foundation Inc. are doing to combat the challenges of mental health and substance abuse issues in the Oklahoma legal community.

Millions of Americans struggle with depression and substance abuse, and lawyers are no exception. That’s why a fundraising effort will get underway this year to ensure Oklahoma attorneys in crisis can get the help they need, regardless of financial circumstance.

The Lawyers Helping Lawyers Foundation Inc. was formed as an Oklahoma nonprofit corporation in 2003, but since then the work has largely been done by the OBA Lawyers Helping Lawyers Committee through its contract with CABA Inc., a private company that coordinates and provides mental health services to OBA members.
