A national survey was published last year on the state of legal professionals’ mental health. More than half of respondents in BC reported experiencing psychological distress and many of them said they did not seek help despite needing it.
In this episode, we share information about one of the most pressing issues facing the legal profession – mental health. The Law Society is committed to supporting the mental wellness of lawyers and has taken a number of steps to increase access to resources and provide opportunities for connection and conversation.
Learn about our new mental health and wellness resources in this discussion with Claire Marchant, Director of Policy & Practice Support, and Rose Morgan, UX & Content Strategist. We chat about the types of support available, reducing stigma and dispelling some common myths about accessing help.
To find out more about all of the services Claire and Rose mentioned in this episode, visit the Lawyer Well-Being Hub on the Law Society's website.
