Two anonymous IBA surveys will take place, one for individuals and one for law firms and organisations. These will provide insight into the mental health concerns of lawyers, the support they receive from their workplace, how their wellbeing is affected by their working environment and what support can be provided.
IBA President Horacio Bernardes Neto said: ‘These studies will provide us with a vital global snapshot of our profession. I sincerely hope that they will lead not only to the sharing of best practice guides, but also to starting conversations in those parts of the world where mental wellbeing is not spoken about so openly, and lawyers perhaps find themselves suffering in silence.’
Take the surveys at (individual) bit.ly/3j2jCkY and (institutions) bit.ly/3j1i5eF.
