Wjw Mental Health Legal Fund
WJW Mental Health Legal Fund was founded to address the critical lack of legal assistance for indigent individuals diagnosed with Serious Mental Illness (SMI) or Serious and Persistent Mental Illness (SPMI). The organization was inspired by William Jeffrey Welton ("WJW"), who spent 34 years disabled and indigent in the Oklahoma mental health system, experiencing incarceration in numerous jails and prisons. Recognizing that jails and prisons have become the largest mental health "providers" in Oklahoma and nationwide, and that the legal profession lacks adequate training in mental disability law, WJWMHLF was established as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit with IRS tax-exempt status granted in October 2020. The organization increases the quality of legal and other assistance for the indigent diagnosed with SMI/SPMI to ensure these disabled citizens have resources and representation needed to prevent criminalization, avoid homelessness, preserve their rights, and live safe, stable, productive lives. Starting in Oklahoma, the organization contracts with licensed attorneys at reduced rates to provide access to the legal system for indigent individuals who would otherwise lack representation or rely on overworked public defenders. WJWMHLF also works to mainstream awareness of existing mental health laws, such as the Oklahoma Statute under Mental Health 43A O.S. § 1-109.1 regarding Treatment Advocates. As of August 2026, WJWMHLF continues to serve the most chronic mental health cases in Oklahoma while developing plans to expand across the USA. The organization is currently led by Co-Founder and Executive Director Jackie Welton DiPillo, and operates with a mission to ensure equal access to justice for those diagnosed with serious mental illness.
