Barristers, chambers staff and pupils are invited to download free podcasts from www.wellbeingatthebar.org.uk/podcasts. They are the latest initiative in a series of Bar Council online resources to support the wellbeing and mental health of those working at the Bar, who often face stress in their working lives. They cover three topics: ‘Recovering from Addiction’, ‘Recovering from Trauma’ and ‘Overcoming Anxiety’, and range in length from roughly 10-20 minutes each. Rachel Spearing, Chair of the Wellbeing at the Bar Working Group, said: ‘Many barristers deal with stressful situations and potentially traumatic trials in the course of their work, and it is therefore important that they process the resulting impact on them in a healthy way.’
