A number of recent studies have shown that lawyers and those in the legal profession have among the highest risk for, and rates of, suicide among hundreds of industries studied.
Small wonder, when you consider that people typically don’t call law firms or work with lawyers because they’re happy and all is well. Intake specialists on the front lines can play a role similar to first responders, at least from the emotional side, dealing with newly traumatized people – a phenomenon especially common in personal injury law. Lawyers themselves deal with difficult cases that can take them to the breaking point.
Mental health awareness and self-care are especially important in the legal profession.
