NOVEMBER 2025 | 83 THE OKLAHOMA BAR JOURNAL The CARE Center also offers therapy and connects families with resources that promote long-term healing and recovery. By funding this work, the OBF ensures that children have a voice in legal investigations and receive the comprehensive care they need to move forward. A BROADER COMMITMENT The OBF is honored to support many child-focused organizations from a legal standpoint. From Marie Detty Youth and Family Services to the Mary Abbott Children’s House and from the Guardian Ad Litem Institute to Oklahoma Lawyers for Children, these programs reach across urban and rural communities to serve children at risk of abuse, neglect and system disenfranchisement. Together, they create a network of advocates and professionals who act swiftly and compassionately to protect children and uphold justice. From the courtroom to the counseling room, OBF-funded programs provide children in crisis with the opportunity to be seen, heard and protected. By supporting these organizations, the OBF helps ensure that the promise of justice in Oklahoma extends to its youngest and most vulnerable residents. Ms. DeMoss is the executive director of the Oklahoma Bar Foundation.
