The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released a recent report citing the legal profession as having the fourth highest rate for suicide. Attorneys are 3.6 times more likely to suffer from depression than other professionals. Stress, financial and professional success, and burnout are some of the leading factors for depression and substance abuse. Numerous safeguards, such as lawyer assistance programs, self- identification of depression and work life balance initiatives have been created but none have provided an acceptable remedy.
The program will focus on stress management and emotional balance, peer-to-peer support groups, workaholic behaviors and proactive approaches to accommodating and supervising those at risk.
