Why Investing in Education, and Wellness Programming
and Support for yours Lawyers Matters
LAWYER MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS
Studies consistently show that lawyers are the most depressed, addicted and stressed of all professionals. They are more likely to experience diagnosable mental disorders the longer they are in the profession. As demands increase as they continue to practice, lawyers need wellness tools to maintain balance.
LAWYER ATTRITION
Recent studies suggest that 44% of lawyers leave their firms within three years of hire. New calls are consistently leaving the practice due to difficulty managing the demands. Female lawyers continue to exit the profession at alarming rates. A healthy and balanced lawyer is more likely to remain in the profession.
LAWYER BURNOUT
Once an individual reaches the point of burn-out, they cannot function effectively and will either have to take significant leave of absence, or leave indefinitely. Lawyers are particularly susceptible to burn-out due to the high stress and intense nature of the work, the constant time pressures, the never ending work overload, ongoing competition, in addition to having to keep up with a wide range of legal issues, deal with difficult people, and maintain a personal life.
