Mental Health and Wellness for Lawyers: Diversifying and Scaling Up Care Options | On-Demand Webinar

Broadcast Date: Monday, March 27, 2024 | 12:00 PM – 01:00 PM ET

The high level of stress and heavy workloads in the legal industry are drastically impacting the mental health of legal professionals. While the alarming rise in the number of affected lawyers has sparked preventive measures to nurture their mental health, other issues like stigma and fear of the negative implications on their careers are what hold lawyers back from speaking up. Thus, fostering awareness of the mental health challenges facing the profession and highlighting solutions are critical in upholding a meaningful workplace culture and work-life balance among lawyers.
