About the Program

Now, two years after the COVID-19 pandemic-related closures, in what many describe as the “New Normal,” there has been a wordwide focus on the effects of the pandemic upon mental health. The World Health Organization’s campaign to make mental health and well-being for all a global priority included declaring October 10 to be World Mental Health Day. In addition to the WHO’s declaring a global mental health crisis, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that substance abuse and drug overdose deaths greatly increased during the pandemic. 

 

Pre-pandemic, the stresses of the legal profession put lawyers at risk for abuse of legal and illegal substances. Now that courts have reopened, and in-person jury trials have resumed, has the legal profession returned to the pre-pandemic baseline? 

 

The presentation will discuss mental well-being and substance use disorders in the legal profession today.

This program is presented by the Barristers. If you are a new attorney, a Law Student or Awaiting Bar Results, BHBA’s Barristers is the place for you. There are tons of resources and benefits to help young lawyers navigate the early years of a career, opportunities to network and resources to grow your skill set.
