Pattie is a lifelong Oklahoman, she graduated from Oklahoma State University, and completed her Masters in Applied Psychology from Northeastern State University. Pattie currently works as the Clinical Director for Parkside Behavioral Health in Tulsa, OK. 

Pattie has always been passionate about working with children and insuring the needs of the community are met. She made the decision to join the Together Just Board of Directors to help push their mission to end the stigma surrounding mental health. 

Secretary of the board, Stacy Bonham, grew up in Tahlequah, OK, went to college at Oklahoma State University and has a BS in Education. She began her career in mental health by working at Stillwater Group Homes for adults with developmental disabilities during college. After moving to Tulsa post-grad, became a case manager for OKDHS working with adults and children with disabilities, then continued with OKDHS as a case manager, case manager supervisor, advocate, and investigator for 10 years. Then went to BIOS, which was another community-based provider serving children and adults with developmental disabilities as an area director, supervising all programs in the Tulsa and Sapulpa area.  While many of these clients carried diagnoses for developmental delays, as well as mental illness, she began working strictly with those with mental illness/behavioral issues at Shadow Mountain for 10 years. 

She is currently at Positive Changes, which is a partial hospitalization program for children and adolescents with behavioral health issues as the Accreditation and Performance Improvement Manager.  

Stacy learned that childhood trauma permeates all levels of society, including family development, socioeconomic status, education, crime, etc. and that it is imperative that these kiddos and their families get the help they need to become contributing members of society and to hopefully break the cycle.  There is also so much stigma that surrounds the term mental illness and it is extremely important to get the message out to ease these thoughts and give people the support they need to seek help. Our founder and executive director, Lilli, talked to Stacy about her vision long ago when they worked at Shadow Mountain together and is excited to be a part of something that is so vitally needed. Stacy is looking forward to making an impact and watching Together Just grow and develop.
