Lawyers feeling stressed or ill can now benefit from an online course on mental health and wellbeing.
The programme, Wellness for Lawyers, was launched this week by Central Law Training. It is designed to help lawyers ‘assess the pressures you encounter, explore strategies for managing your own wellbeing, and recognise the steps you can take to support your colleagues and foster a culture of wellbeing’.
Mark Solon, solicitor and director of Central Law Training, said: ‘Many lawyers belong to the “I’m Fine Club” and don’t realise the levels of stress they have.
‘This can affect their work and ultimately the service given to clients. The new Wellness programme contains some very moving interviews with practitioners and some really useful strategies to improve wellness. It’s a brand-new programme and very much needed.’
