Suicide Prevention: Every Lawyer’s Opportunity
What are the signs and what can I say? This article will provide some guidance on reducing our risk. Additional resources are available here.
Just Ask: How We Must Stop Minding Our Own Business in the Legal World is a powerful suicide prevention video created by the Texas Lawyer Assistance program with the assistance of the Pennsylvania LAP. You may access the video and other suicide prevention resources here.
We recognize that content like this can be triggering for some. The video begins with a warning and offers support and encouragement to reach out to others.
Insights Newsletter – Coping with Stress
Recent studies show that more people are experiencing higher levels of stress these days and for longer periods. While it’s always helpful to address the underlying issues causing the stress, many issues remain beyond our personal control. That’s why it’s so important to develop strategies for managing stress and reducing its negative impact.
Learn more in this month’s article, “Understanding and Addressing Stress.“
