September is Suicide Prevention Month

Do you know someone who is depressed? Do you want to feel better equipped to support colleagues during a mental health crisis?

Join the Institute for Well-Being in Law this Thursday, Sept. 26, from 1:30-2:30 p.m. for a webinar training on best practices to recognize and support colleagues in need. Legal professionals will leave with knowledge and tools for preventing suicide and promoting well-being in their workplaces. Participants will also gain insights into effective workplace interventions and resources designed to foster a more psychologically safe and healthy work environment.

Visit Legal Employers' Guide to Understanding and Preventing Suicide and Other Mental Health Emergencies to sign up for this free session. While there is no CLE credit offered, you will gain invaluable knowledge.

Additionally, immediate help is available through the ISBA's Member Assistance Program (MAP). The MAP has trained counselors standing by whenever you need them. After an initial consultation, participants can receive up to three additional sessions for free! Call 800-327-4692. Save the number, save a life!
