The American Bar Association and Hazelden Foundation conducted a nationwide study confirming that lawyers struggle with depression, anxiety and alcoholism at rates that far exceed rates found in the general population and other professions. We all know the risks. We often see colleagues in trouble but are unsure exactly what to do about it.
This session provided by the North Carolina Lawyers Assistance Program and hosted by Parker Poe will highlight real-world strategies that lawyers and law firms can use to:
- Identify colleagues at risk
- Create a culture of safety that will reduce barriers for those in need to asking for and receiving help
- Intervene when it is clear a colleague needs assistance.
Speaker: Candace Hoffman of North Carolina Lawyers Assistance Program
