““To be a good lawyer, one has to be a healthy lawyer.””
About
The ESRBA Wellness Initiative began 2022 with the purpose of creating and compiling mental and physical health resources for members that educate, foster engagement, and provide support. It is our hope that these efforts will lower the stigma about mental health and illness in the profession, encourage those who need help to seek it, and raise the individual and collective well-being of the legal profession.
It is no secret that our profession struggles with depression, anxiety, substance use and abuse, among other issues. The inherent nature of our adversarial system does not help.
Become Involved!
We each have a direct hand in our well-being and the well-being of our profession. If you have something to offer such as a penchant for art projects, a skill that could be shared, or ideas for content and events, please reach out.
Additionally, funds will ensure this initiative’s existence. Donations are welcome.
