Wellbeing matters to everyone at the Bar. I’m pleased to be part of this new video, alongside fellow leaders from across the Bar to explore some of the issues and challenges the profession faces, as well as potential solutions and ways for members of the Bar and associated professions to get help if they need it.
The video signposts to wellbeing support for barristers and associated professionals:
Wellbeing at the Bar – a dedicated website for the Bar including a range of support services and resources on mental health and wellbeing.
Assistance Programme– self-employed barristers can call the assistance programme on 0800 169 2040 for 24-hour telephone support and free counselling.
Law Care – free, confidential, emotional support via the mental wellbeing charity for the legal community.
