Is your firm (or you!) doing great work to better your community? We’d love to hear about it so we can feature it in upcoming issues of Legal Management. Send an email to [email protected] for more details. 

Firm leaders were pleased with the impact the initiative had on lawyers and staff. “We hope we gave everyone some insight and empathy into the challenges that we all face at one time or another, and that we offered them a brief respite from the stressors we all confront on a daily basis,” says Amy Komorowski Wiwi, Partner and Co-Chair of the Mental Health and Wellness group.

While mental health is undoubtedly a serious topic, fun ideas like this one offer an accessible way to engage attorneys and staff while enhancing creativity and camaraderie. Incorporating employee resource groups also provides just one example of how you can get every employee involved, especially during this stressful time of year.

We are getting better at talking about mental health and safeguarding our well-being in the legal industry. But there is still stigma around it that prevents some from getting the help they need. The way through that is to keep talking and educating about it. Our Mental Health & Wellness Resource Hub aims to give you access to provide information to help in these efforts.
