What could possibly be the downsides of the rise of ‘well-being’??!!
Yes, there are many great things about the rise of ‘well-being’ in law and the many firms that have signed up to mental health first aid schemes.
BUT one of the unintended downsides is anxiety amongst many lawyers (particularly senior lawyers) about where the appropriate boundaries lie.
How far are you supposed to go in talking about mental health?
How much are you ‘expected’ to share your own stories?
How can you appropriately signpost to trained MH professionals?
That’s why I love delivering this sort of training
To provide reassurance, education and (always) a few laughs and a bit of humanity along the way, even though we’re talking about the most serious of subjects.
And it’s so nice to hear that it hits the spot!
