About This Course
Fear of stigma, losing a law license, or losing their job can make attorneys reluctant to seek mental health support. Drawing on my perspective as an attorney and my lived experience, this CLE program will address those fears and encourage informed help-seeking. Topics will include accessing therapy, lawyer assistance programs, and the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline; understanding confidentiality and its limits; and distinguishing mental health struggles from impairment affecting professional responsibilities. The central message is that attorneys deserve support and should not have to suffer in silence.
