About the Seminar
The rate of suicide among lawyers is high in comparison to many other white-collar professions. The 2017 Hazelden/Betty Ford Foundation/ABA CoLAP survey of the well-being of lawyers found that lawyers have higher than average rates of alcohol use disorders, risky alcohol use, depression and anxiety. An earlier study on the well-being of law students indicated the same. Lawyers and law students who responded to these surveys indicated they had thoughts of suicide at a troubling rate.
 
This presentation offers an honest discussion of suicide, including the known risk factors and the warning signs. It includes a vignette of an attorney asking a colleague if he is considering suicide. Some of the common myths about suicide will be debunked.
 
Statistics from the well-being surveys will be reported, along with some of the recommendations for change to the profession that emerged because of the surveys' finding.
