Mental health awareness
More than ever individual lawyers and law firms are recognising the vital importance of mental health. Stress caused by role overload (simply too much work) can be debilitating. So can role underload (leading to boredom and frustration) and role confusion (what am I meant to do here?). Poor or no management can make the problem worse.
LawCare offers advice and resources.
A recent piece in The Law Society Gazette by Elizabeth Rimmer CEO of LawCare highlights warning signs of a potential mental health problem.
