This site can assist families (or anyone) with legal resources and information on a variety of issues. It is really a great interactive site. Here’s a description of what their service provides:

Ohio Legal Help is a nonprofit organization that was launched in 2019 to help all Ohioans access the civil justice system. We provide plain language legal help information, interactive self-help tools and connections to local legal and community resources that empower Ohioans to resolve their legal issues.

Our legal help information is written by Our Team and reviewed by expert private and legal aid lawyers. This ensures that Ohio Legal Help users have information that is easy to understand, action-oriented and accurate.  

Unfortunately, seniors have a higher likelihood of being diagnosed with mesothelioma, a type of lung cancer associated with asbestos exposure. Facing a mesothelioma diagnosis is undoubtedly challenging, but it's important to recognize that you are not alone. There are emerging and effective treatment options for mesothelioma that can enhance a patient's life expectancy and overall quality of life. We recently made a new guide about seniors and mesothelioma for this reason.

  • Older adults are learning more about cancers and other health risks that might affect them. Age is the most significant risk factor for developing cancer.

  • People 65 and older comprise 60% of all cancer patients. To raise awareness, we recently published a Seniors Guide to Cancer that covers topics like wellness tips, the importance of seeing a doctor, and preventive measures:

  • Since seniors make up around 80% of those diagnosed with mesothelioma and it takes anywhere from 20-50 years after exposure to occur, we have created a great mesothelioma guide as well where your community will be able to find at-no-cost services such as monthly online cancer support group sessions, on-staff doctors and nurses available to answer any medical-related questions, and patient advocates who work one-on-one with individuals to help them find local doctors, treatment centers, and support groups:
